The main bus stop for CIT is located on Rossa Avenue, to the east of Block C. The stop is identified by a pole, rubbish bin and real time passenger information sign. The sign does not identify with the campus or give any indication to non locals where it might be located.
The footpath is narrow at 1.5m wide, and causes users to congregate in a linear fashion as they wait for the bus, something which is unconducive for communication amongst groups of people.
There is no designated shelter against the weather or seat for users at the stop. People lean against the garden walls of adjacent private properties for comfort as they wait.
Discussions with CIT staff about the bus stop revealed that ownership at the location is an issue which has hampered efforts of the college to have a bus shelter erected. Given that the footpath in this location is narrow, it would be necessary to procure extra space from the adjoining property and to date this has not been possible. Neither has it been possible to affix a simple shelter roof to the adjacent garden wall.
