- Fully trained staff;
- Electronic timetable information;
- OMIT;
- Tactile paving for blind and partially sighted passengers;

Merseytravel is committed to improving passenger facilities at bus stops throughout Merseyside.
The new facilities will include:
- Where possible shelters to give protection from the weather;
- Good lighting to increase personal security;
- Seating;
- Bus timetable information;
- Raised kerbs to ease access on and off buses;
- Enhanced bus stop marking and clear way orders to enable buses to fully access the stops and prevent unauthorised parking;
These improvements which are part of an ongoing programme will make bus stops safer, more convenient and more comfortable for all passengers, particularly those who are older or more vulnerable.
