Cities regularly face construction work, urban redevelopment and improvement projects that require temporary changes to bus routes and the installation of temporary bus stops. In those cases, ensuring the continuity of bus services becomes a priority, as does providing safe and comfortable conditions for bus users and ensuring accessibility at these bus stops, even when they have to be set up temporarily in complex environments. To respond to these challenges, more and more cities are opting for flexible and reversible solutions that are easy to install and remove, such as the Vectorial® system bus platforms, which are suitable for quickly creating temporary bus stops and capable of adapting to technical and regulatory requirements to ensure safety and universal accessibility.
Success cases
Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, FR.
The city of Saint-Pierre-des-Corps needed to temporarily relocate bus stops on Avenue de Stalingrad, in front of the train station, due to construction works in the area. The main objective was clear: to maintain the continuity of public transport service and provide a safe and comfortable experience for bus users.
To achieve this objective, the city decided to create two temporary bus stops and install Vectorial® bus platforms at them.

Zürich, CH.
The Department of Civil Engineering and the transport operator of the city of Zurich needed to carry out an overhaul of the tram lines. This required the creation of a temporary bus route covering the same route and the establishment of temporary bus stops along the route.
In order to ensure accessibility at these new temporary bus stops, the city needed a solution that would elevate the road level using a platform, adapting to the technical requirements and the temporary character of the project.
To meet these requirements, the Department of Civil Engineering and the transport operator of the city of Zurich decided to create five temporary bus stops along the route. Through our exclusive distributor in Switzerland, BURRI Public Elements, they installed Vectorial® bus platforms with island configuration.

Bruxelles, BE.
The city of Brussels is undergoing a comprehensive street redesign. This transformation has required several temporary reconfigurations of bus and tram routes.
During the period of the work, the STIB (Société des Transports Intercommunaux de Bruxelles), the city’s transport operator, faced the challenge of ensuring accessibility at the new provisional stops created for buses and trams.
After evaluating various solutions proposed by different companies, the STIB chose the Vectorial® system for its modularity. This feature enabled the installation of platforms as extensions of the sidewalk, which could be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled as the urban redesign process progressed.
