We walked along the route of\u00a0796X, stopping at every bus stop and carried\u00a0out a series of observations and simple\u00a0experiments.<\/p>\n<p>In general, we observed from the bus stop\u00a0the special features around that we consider\u00a0as having positive or negative effects on\u00a0the condition of the bus stop. Six bus stops\u00a0in which the environment contrasted with\u00a0one another most significantly were chosen\u00a0to carry out analysis of the air(by hanging\u00a0a wet tissue for 10 minutes and looking at\u00a0the greyness or dust stuck to it), noise(by\u00a0ringing a bell and counting the steps one\u00a0takes from the bell until it cannot be heard),\u00a0environment(by counting the trees seen from\u00a0the station), and pollution(by counting the\u00a0number of cars passing by in 10 minutes).<\/p>\n<p>After that, we put the features we observed\u00a0in several categories, and also compared the\u00a0experiment results. The most common problem\u00a0of bus stops on this route was noticed, and\u00a0at last, we came up with a new design for a\u00a0greener bus stop, focusing on these aspects:\u00a0energy, noise, air, environment, and living.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 11%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-629 gallery-columns-9 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/fac.arch.hku.hk\/courses\/designsonthefuture\/tseung-kwan-o-to-tsim-sha-tsui-east-station-in-green\/img_4222\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/fac.arch.hku.hk\/courses\/designsonthefuture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_4222-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/fac.arch.hku.hk\/courses\/designsonthefuture\/tseung-kwan-o-to-tsim-sha-tsui-east-station-in-green\/img_4232\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/fac.arch.hku.hk\/courses\/designsonthefuture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_4232-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/fac.arch.hku.hk\/courses\/designsonthefuture\/tseung-kwan-o-to-tsim-sha-tsui-east-station-in-green\/img_4235\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/fac.arch.hku.hk\/courses\/designsonthefuture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_4235-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors.\u00a0CHAN Lok Yiu Jasmine, LEUNG Kin Ho,\u00a0LIN Tsz Ngai Jimmy As buses are one of the main modes\u00a0of transportation in Hong Kong, and\u00a0transportation is a major part of Hong Kong\u00a0people\u2019s lives, we decided to look at how\u00a0transport by bus can be more sustainable than\u00a0the current situation.
