Benefits The Pepsi MAX bus stop shows how augmented reality can provide stimulation and surprise as part of a person’s journey. 10.7 Coach facilities The demand for tourist coaches is forecast to increase as the population of London increases and our population ages. Facilities to pick up and set down passengers and park are important for the coach industry but must be done in a way to minimise impact on the streetscape and Figure 200: Coach parking bays demarcated with road markings Implementation The end panel of the bus shelter was fitted with high-resolution camera and screen. From within the shelter, the panel resembled a window; however, this view was augmented by giant robots, flying saucers and an enormous tentacle plucking a hapless pedestrian off the street. Applying in London The technology has numerous potential applications, for information, entertainment and commercial purpose Figure 201: A row of coaches parked on the Albert Embankment Additional information Transport for London: Guidance on bus intelligence systems, ‘Countdown for London’

Please read this section in conjunction with ‘Bus stop environments’ and Accessible Bus Stop Design Guidance. Overview Any motor vehicle containing eight or more seats (exclusive of the driver) can park in an on-street coach bay. This may require hourly payment as set out by the borough. Some coach parking bays (for example, in Westminster) may not be used between 00:00-08:00. On-street coach parking is found throughout London. It is concentrated in central London, where most coach activity takes place. This type of facility is typically, but not exclusively, used by the tourist coach sector. A number of places – including Madame Tussauds, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, Natural History Museum and some hotels in Cromwell Road – have 20-minute set down and pick up bays outside or nearby. Within the central London boroughs there are 214 on-street facilities. Of these, 44 per cent are located on the TLRN. Long-stay parking and coach stations are located off the public highway. Facilities The following types of on-street coach facilities exist in London: Type Pick up and set down (PUSD) – on red routes PUSD – on yellow lines Short-stay parking Medium-stay parking Design Coach disabled ramps require 3000mm of space. Pick-up/set-down locations need to incorporate footway space. [Part E – Physical design and materials] Kerbside activity 199 Description Coaches are allowed to stop at certain locations while passengers are boarding or alighting. These sites include dedicated facilities and red route bus stops where the sign plate indicates ‘except buses’. Coaches are allowed to set down and pick up passengers on single and double yellow lines. Some highway authorities allow up to 10 minutes waiting time when no loading restrictions are in operation. Where a bus stop sign plate indicates ‘except local buses’, tourist coaches are not permitted to stop. Mostly dedicated on-street facilities – maximum stay of 20-30 minutes depending on location. Charges apply in some cases. Mostly on-street – maximum stay of one to four hours, however, a few locations permit up to 12 hours. A charge applies to the majority of these dedicated facilities. Overnight parking is not generally permitted.
