I started this discussion on mastodon, but want to here too. If you could create the perfect bus stop, what would it have? Here are some of my ideas:
⛑ Safety:
- Shelters: no advertisements blocking views. Enclosed shelters must have 2+ exit points.
- Solar lights
♿ Accessibility:
- A space in shelters for wheelchairs.
- Marked wide paved section for wheelchairs & those with mobility difficulties to board a ramp onto the bus.
- Braille on bus stop signs & tactile pavement.
🚲Other:
- Bike racks
- Vending Machines
- Public water fountain
- Tiny library
Do you have more ideas?
Edit: realized the photo i added is ai, but i can’t seem to get rid of it so 🤷♀️

The ideal bus stop is one where buses stop so frequently you don’t actually need the stop to be a microcosm of city life because you’re at most five minutes away from the next bus.
Mmm, back in the 200Xs there was one bus stop like that near my work. It was incredible. You didn’t even have to think about “catching the bus” you would just go to the bus stop and wait around for a few minutes.
To give you an idea, it was never even worth it to light up a cigarette at that stop - you’d barely ever get to finish it.
Now imagine living in a city where all bus stops are like that (well, most anyway).
That’s actual “public transit”.
This post is very clearly entirely AI generated, not just the image. No normal person puts emojis in a list format like this
I mean I actually do. It helps grab people’s attention. It’s also a good way to do polls, ex:
- Anglebert’s 🎱
- And Prion Feast 🦆
- You Monkey Plate, Dr 🙊
And then like people in chat react with whatever place they’d like to go for lunch.
What? Using emoji makes something ai?
I always use emoji if I think it will make reading easier for people who like to jump to specific sections. It’s not hard, either. If you hit the windows key + the period key, it brings up an emoji chart. You can either go through them, or type what one you want.
