Ballots
Improved comfort for vulnerable groups like elderly commuters outweighs marginal urban-space trade-offs in a hot/humid city where accessibility matters.
Enhancing comfort for all passengers outweighs minimal loss of pavement space.
Adding shaded seating at bus stops improves comfort for vulnerable users like older riders during heat and rain without significant harm.
Shelters with seats make waiting in Bangkok's heat and rain far easier, especially for older riders, for a modest pavement-space and upkeep cost.
