The bus stop has LGBTQ+ flag's colors as a symbol representing community's presence in the city.

Disabled people were also thought of. Including textures on the floor, as well as announcing speakers for blind people. Information screens for deaf people and ramps for those who cannot walk.

In addition to being functional for users of public transport, whether visitors or locals, it represents a visual auction in the city that captures the attention of tourists who want to come and observe or take photos.
