What is the curb length designated for public buses at an airport?

The designated curb length for public buses at an airport is typically 50 feet. This length is established to ensure that buses can safely and efficiently pick up and drop off passengers. Having a longer curb space accommodates larger buses as well as the need for additional room to maneuver safely around passengers and other vehicles.

This measurement takes into account the size of standard public transit buses, which can range considerably in length, and ensures that there is sufficient space to prevent congestion at busy airport terminals. Airports often have high passenger traffic, especially during peak times, and providing adequate curb space enhances the overall flow of passenger movement and airport operations.

In contrast, shorter curb lengths like 20 feet, 25 feet, or 30 feet would not be suitable as they would limit the types of buses that could operate effectively and could lead to safety issues and traffic bottlenecks at the curbside.
