From: http://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca/...mittee.pdf

Is it just me, or does the shelter in this render seem absurdly small for the level of traffic that might be expected along the line?  The shelter shown here, with it's three seats, looks like a shelter meant to handle the capacity for a lower-volume iXpress stop. My expectation is that the stops would be getting as much volume as the iXpress stops at University and Seagram.  Even with a larger shelter (double or triple length I believe), there is still quite a crowd waiting there for a bus to show up.  Are there general metrics for how much platform space is needed per passenger?
