FOI request detail

Bus shelter environments

Request ID: FOI-4478-1718
Date published: 28 February 2018

You asked

I am currently investigating air quality within bus shelter environments and I was wondering if you had any info/data on the configurations of bus shelters - ideally within Kingston-Upon-Thames. I would like to know how many bus shelters are oriented with their open front facing towards the roadway, and also how many are have their open front facing away from the roadway. I appreciate this may be an odd request but if you could be of any assistance it would be greatly appreciated, whether that be for London as a whole or just Kingston. (Please ignore the required info such as Location/time/bus route - I was unable to submit my enquiry without completing these)
