The depolluting bus shelters of JCDecaux and Ilévia.

JCDecaux
A world first.
The Lille metropolis inaugurates the first depolluting bus shelters.
Developed in partnership with the JCDecaux display, it should help improve the air quality of public transport users.
A foam roof captures fine particles, which are then evacuated by rainwater.
Below, a ventilation system draws air from under the plants and rejects it, purified, under the shelter.
Low consumption, it does not aim to operate 24 hours a day.
The ventilation is activated during pollution peaks, by detecting the presence of travelers or through an appropriate time schedule.
A device that adapts to existing street furniture
JCDecaux's innovation can be adapted to already built bus shelters.
This is the case of the one which has just been inaugurated at La Madeleine, near Lille, whose mayor, Sébastien Leprêtre, is also vice president in charge of transport at the MEL.
The glass roof was simply replaced with an aluminum box, a grid and a 3 m2 foam mat.
Analyzes will be carried out regularly to assess the effectiveness of the device.
Surveys will also be offered to users to report on their experience.
The experiment will last six months.
