The waiting booth design for 7 stations on the BRT Hikoboshi Line has been decided!
JR Kyushu has decided on the design of the waiting booths to be installed at seven stations on the BRT Hikoboshi Line (official name: Hitahikosan Line BRT), which will open in the summer of 2023, as follows.
Waiting booths that express the characteristics of the region by using wood at each station provide a warm and friendly space for customers waiting for the arrival of the BRT.
The design is handled by a team composed mainly of young employees who are engaged in architectural work in-house. Each station has been created with passion so that it will continue to be loved as a symbol of the region. We will continue to prepare for the opening in the summer of 2023 while cooperating with local governments and related organizations.
