Do Austin's new bus shelters cut it in the Texas heat? 'They don't got enough shade. Take 'em back!' rider Elijah Archie laughed, but only half-joking.
"We probably didn't use the best pictures," Watkins said. The comparison image showed the old shelter shaded in a nearby tree's shade, while the new stop looked stark with the sun low on the horizon.But for regular CapMetro user Jen Ramos, it wasn't about the choice of images. Her long simmering frustrations lay with the new shelters' smaller size and lack of seatbacks on the benches.
"Anti-homeless architecture," Wireman labeled them."The blatant use of it is when it comes to these public use benches." Researchers, such as Kevin Lanza from UT Health Houston, have observed that shade from trees, not bus shelters, help sustain ridership during the hottest months of the year. "These trees are not in the neighborhoods where potentially there are the most folks who use the [bus]," Lanza said.
