Bus Shelters with a difference – they can talk!  

We have always said we can build just about anything. Sculptures, POS products, Pool Lights, Furniture, Scoreboards and the odd sign or two. Now add Bus Shelters to the list.

ABSee Media needed to find a company who could help design and manufacture a range of high quality bus shelters from their concept, for a large rollout programme on the Gold Coast and we were able to fit the bill!

Given that the shelters were destined for the coastline, we chose to do away with the conventional practice of building the product with galvanised steel members and designed the whole shelter with 100% aluminium componentry.

Features include:
ü      Integrated Adpanel advertising medium
ü      Non corrosive
ü      Powder coat finish
ü      Guttering and downpipe
ü      Glass or mesh construction (mesh – vandal prone applications)
ü      Illuminated safety and branding signs
ü      Modular construction for various models 
ü      Easy to install 
ü      Engineer certified design 
ü      Complies with all relevant Australian Standards, including AS 1428 set  – Designs for Access and Mobility

The ‘Adpanel’ that goes hand in hand with the shelter provides the opportunity for streetscape advertising, making the shelter rollout programme financially viable for the local authority.

As an added feature, some of those Adpanels are fitted with an audio device that plays a pre-recorded message until it is interrupted by the push of a button. When the button is pressed, it will play an alternative message, and when complete, will revert back to the original audio file.

It is battery powered to play the messages during the day when the power is off, and on a time clock to switch it off at night so as not to be a nuisance! The messages are easily upgradable through a quick change memory stick.
