Bus shelter of the municipal transport services

The bus shelter built in 1933 is a geometric structure in the Madretsch north district featuring functional design typical of that era's modern movement. The construction was designed as a public transportation facility and continues to serve its original purpose today.

The shelter was built in 1933 during a period when Bienne was expanding its public transportation systems as part of urban development. Its construction reflects how the city modernized its infrastructure to meet changing mobility needs.

The shelter reflects Bienne's modern design approach through its clean lines and thoughtful construction details. This style of simple, functional architecture has shaped how the city looks and feels in its public spaces.

The shelter is located in the northern Madretsch district and remains easily accessible to passengers. It provides cover and is clearly visible along the transit route.

This transit shelter earned recognition as a cultural heritage site at the cantonal level despite being an everyday public structure. This distinction shows how the region values and protects even simple, functional architecture as part of its heritage.
