The new GOST established requirements for the equipment of stops in Russia. The standard goes into effect today, the Ministry of Transportation reported.
GOST divides the stops into three categories according to the passenger traffic of the day. The basic ones are the ones used for 500 passengers. For the latter two, cities are recommended to provide Wi-Fi, phone charging stations and emergency communications.
When switching from one route to another, the distance between stops shall not exceed 120 meters. It is proposed to install closed-circuit cameras in transfer centers.
The new standard will be taken into account during the construction of stops as well as during the planned renovation of existing facilities.
