Участникам предстоит разработать дизайн для автобусных остановок в китайском городе Цзясин. В проектах нужно совместить не только функциональную и эстетическую составляющие, но также социальную и культурную. Это должны быть остановки, которые подчеркивают уникальную атмосферу региона и способствуют популяризации общественного транспорта.

The design of Jiaxing bus shelter should take both the artistry and function into consideration. It shall be in line with the cultural atmosphere of the region, with unique creativity, profound meaning, novel form, distinctive personality, strong visual impact and cultural appeal. The function of bus shelters shall be multiple, humanized and intelligent. With high-frequency public transportation stations as a medium, the image of Jiaxing's central urban area has been spread more systematically and effectively, showing Jiaxing’s city characteristics of "Red Boat" spirit, internationalization, canal complex and Jiangnan charms.
Bus stations are generally located in crowded areas and play a positive role in reducing private car travel. Bus stations are generally located near large-scale transportation hubs, commercial complex, office clusters, hospitals, schools, and community entrances and exits, and can be reached within 10 minutes.
Different bus station designs have quite different impacts on the neighboring traffic flow: generally, harbor-shaped bus stations cause less delay to vehicles than linear bus stations. Stations at the intersection exit road have a less impact on vehicles than that at the entrance road.
The transformation and renovation of the bus station witnessed the development and changes of urban transportation. The bus station was transformed from a station sign to a stop, and the bus station hall was transformed from an ordinary station hall to a smart station hall. These witnessed that people are demanding more and more for the comfort, punctuality and convenience of transportation, with the increase of urban transportation choices and urban traffic congestion.
