The IPTS system is an integrated network of road-based public transport services that are contracted by the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality which include exclusive use of median lanes and enclosed median route shelters on trunk corridors, as well as defined feeder routes that integrate with the trunk services. The route shelters are designed to accommodate both articulated and solo busses to operate during peak traffic hours. The shelters are designed in various lengths differing from a single shelter (20mx3m), double shelter (40mx3m) to accommodate two articulated busses, and a combination of both single and double with an inter-linking walkway along with a wider (40mx5.1m) shelter. All were specifically designed to accommodate the Volvo high floor busses. The facades had to be transparent to allow for maximum visibility to the user of the busses, thus resulting in a structure that is light and modular.
