   "Bus stops are located at street corners and have a tall, round sign   
   with a bus emblem and route number. Some stops have bus shelters."

   "Enhanced stations: BRT stops include attractive shelters with seating   
   and lighting. Stations with bus bulbs can have level boarding,   
   landscaping, and other amenities."
