1st air-conditioned bus stop in Malaysia

Trinity Group ( boutique property developer) has claimed to build the first air-conditioned bus stop in Malaysia at the Trinity-owned Zest Point@Kinrara 9.

Construction of the bus stop started in March 2011 and was completed in July 2011. Built at a cost of RM83,000, the 8ft X 24ft air-conditioned bus stop can fill up to 40 people at one time.

The air-conditioning however, will not run for 24 hours. Operated by a timer, it will be switched on for 10 hours from 9am to 7pm daily. Maintenance of the air-conditioner will be carried out once a month by the developer.

In line with Trinity Group's commitment to its neighboring community, it has also taken into account the bus stop's safety features. A closed-circuit camera is installed for passenger safety.

It's may be new in Malaysia but I'm sure that it was common in some other country ;)
