Almost £200,000 could be spent in the next few months on expanding the number of SmartBus passenger waiting shelters in Dundee.
Councillors on Dundee City Council's policy and resources committee, which meets on Monday (June 23) will be asked to approve funding for 16 new shelters across the city.
Convener of the planning and transport committee, Fraser Macpherson, said, "The demand for these shelters to be installed at more locations has been very high as passengers who have used them experience their advantages.
"The plan is for two locations in each of the council's eight wards to have a new shelter provided during this financial year."
The SmartBus shelters feature a covered passenger waiting area, seating, real time bus information, a timetable poster, lighting and CCTV capability. The total installation cost is expected to be around £192,000.
Installation will be carried out by a combination of contractors through an existing partnership agreement with Tayside Contracts and by specialist suppliers.
