The city of Fort McMurray is hoping a big investment in fancy new bus shelters will lure more people to public transit.
The $9-million shelters have doors to keep the cold out and a button inside that when pressed, rushes warm air down from a heater in the ceiling.
Program manager Dale D’arcy tells The National Post it’s a radical new design that hasn’t really been done anywhere else in the country.
He says the municipality is trying to ease traffic congestion by making the bus more appealing.
