“The Smart Stop was an idea they created and found a vendor — CHK America — willing to build it. The stop and bus can communicate with each other. If it’s cold and dark, the person at the stop has the ability to put in a stop request. The bus could let people at the stop know if the bike rack is full or empty or how many wheelchairs are on board. The Smart Stop allows riders to plan trips with access to all of the tables and schedules.”
