How does Halton Student Transportation Services select a bus stop location?
Many factors are considered when selecting bus stop locations. HSTS is responsible for selecting stop locations and considers road & traffic conditions, size of the bus, distance between stops, sight lines and overall safety. Community stops are selected whenever possible, meaning accessible to more than one student. In a rural environment, the bus will pick up close to the residence, but is not required to stop directly at the residence. In rural areas where there are groupings of homes, community stops will be established. Bus stops will not be located in townhouse complexes, cul-de-sacs or constructions areas including new housing developments.
