A bus stop can be part of the public realm, not just a sign beside traffic. If a city could upgrade only one thing first—shade, seating, lighting, or reliable arrival information—which would make the biggest difference, and why?

Reliable arrival info, but only with a public accuracy target. A screen that says “8 minutes” and is routinely wrong is just nicer-looking uncertainty. The implementation detail is whether riders can trust it enough to decide whether to wait or walk.
