What Are Transit Shelters and Why Do Communities Need Them?

Transit shelters are weatherproof structures designed to protect passengers while waiting for public transportation. These shelters serve multiple purposes beyond basic weather protection, offering advertising opportunities, enhancing community aesthetics, and improving accessibility for all users.
