Waiting for the bus in freezing winter cold? Chinese City set up heated "warm room" for the waiting passengers

Xinjiang Urumqi "warm room" bus stops in freezing winter time Temperature can drop to -30 celsius in Urumqi in winter, the city set up heated glass houses at bus stops so people can stay out of bitter winter cold while waiting for the buses.

It's nice to have a warm place to stave off bitter winter cold

Freaking snow storms often hit Urumqi in winter time and temperature can plummet to polar reading

Police cars search and pick up people stuck in a sudden snow storm in Urumqi city

Did they just think about enclosing the bus stop to get people away from element??

This has been done a long time ago in Australia. This is Blacktown Westpoint Interchange, has been like this since I move to Blacktown around 10 years ago, which is strangely just about 100 meters from another major bus terminal (Above ground and open) (Blacktown station interchange), most people would just walk to the West Point and take bus there

Perth Arena bus port

Most Sydney Bus line have both underground and above ground station, and most T way have enclosed station. And it wasn't really that hot or cold in Sydney...

You mean bus terminals or bus stops? distance between each stops is around 1 kilometers in the Chinese cities, do you think it's possible to build a complex bus terminal at each and every bus stop?

Both. The one in black town is just a bus stop. This is the bus terminal in Blacktown

As I said, this is the Bus terminal next to Blacktown Train Station, where ALL the bus serving North and South of Blacktown converge, the one in Blacktown Westpoint is the first stop buses depart from above interchange going south. I can take a bus from this interchange to my home, but I can't take a bus in Westpoint Bus Stop because it didn't go where I live.

There are considerable enclosed Bus Stop along T-Way and most bus line.

And finally it's considered far if each stop is 1 km apart......

I've never been to Australia, so maybe you have a big building for every bus stop, I don't know so I can't comment, when I lived in New York, it has a big bus terminal at 42nd street but that's it, bus stops all over New york get nothing other than a stop sign.

How about in other countries? welcome comments about bus stops in your countries, do they all have a building to go with it?

Both.

Sorry, I did a quick search online, it seems you didn't tell the whole truth.

Australia don't need that much enclosed stop, and most bus line run into one or more shopping mall along the way, which usually have enclosed bus stop.

Most of EU and Canada have heated bus station because of the extreme temperature.

TTC installs 16 new heated and enclosed bus shelters

The TTC says the shelters are designed to make it more comfortable for Wheel-Trans users to ride on the conventional bus network.

Heated bus shelter encourages commuters to make a connection

With the mercury in Montreal lucky to make it above 0° C (32° F) at this time of year, Duracell has provided city commuters a way to keep warm by literally reaching out to each other. In a PR move that it hopes will warm the hearts – and hands – of commuters, Duracell has constructed a bus shelter…

I believe this changed version of story more, and no one says you need by the way. I didn't have Australia in mind when posting this story.

Well, enclosed bus stop in Australia is mostly because of personal safety, not because of the environment. Because at worst it's just hot, and you can deal with hot and open space in Australia aren't really that hot to begin with, even when outside is 47C.

Problem for Australia is to provide a safe space for people waiting for public transport, a lot about bus stop had change since there were a few case when a child was awaiting bus alone got kidnapped when the bus refused to take the fare or refused to stop, then they started to make the bus shelter safer and move as many stop in enclosed environment.

I never said there were no above ground or open stop in Australia, I said most of the line are a combination of above ground and enclose stop. Most shopping mall have enclosed stop. And most bus line go thru shopping mall.

Of course, not every stop is going thru the mall or enclosed, and you show me a bunch of open stops did not change that fact.

I m not interested in Aussie's bus stops, but why you want Urumqi to have a big building for all bus stops? do you know how crazy this idea sounds? Did any city on this planet ever try to do this?

They are crazy, or you are crazy?

I never said anything other than enclosed bus stop is not a new idea. I live in Australia and used to live in Canada and UK before, both countries have enclosed bus stop not like the one we use in Australia

Heated Bus Stop in Canada called "Assess Hub"

Air Conditioned Bus Stop in Dubai

COVID Enclosed Bus Stop in South Korea

Old Enclosed stop in the UK.

We can do big building because we have space in Australia, that does not mean other country don't have heated or enclosed stop.

They are crazy, or you are crazy?

What crazy? Or do you think this is a crazy idea to shelter a bus stop is crazy? The world has been going at it for decades, you probably is the one that crazy to think no one but the Chinese thought about that...

Every bus stop? which city?

I don't believe I ever said any country, including Australia, would enclose ALL their station. Kindly point out where did I said that??
