This one in particular is more of a work of art infact, and looks beautiful enough to make one want to wait longer for a bus. The bus stop was commissioned by Peruvian national transport company TU colibri and features the use of an intuitive color identification system that helps identify buses. These color codes help the not-so-literate as well as foreigners understand bus routes better. Solar panels on the roof of this bus stop power up all the electronics like the touch sensitive information block and the LED lights to indicate the changed route information.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThis one sure gives the Peruvian mass transit system a touch of green with the use of technology, innovation and a lot of eco-friendly thinking.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/12\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_2.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/12\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_2.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=550,height=395,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_2-thumb-450x323.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"323\" alt=\"solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/12\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_3.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/12\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_3.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=550,height=412,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_3-thumb-450x337.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_3.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/12\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_4.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/12\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_4.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=550,height=412,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_4-thumb-450x337.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"solar-tu-colibri-bus-stop_4.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedesignblog.org\/entry\/solar-powered-tu-colibri-bus-stop-to-improve-public-transport-in-peru\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">TheDesignblog<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bus stops are going greener by the day, adopting new and eco-friendly designs.
