Creativity. Uniqueness. Out-of-the-box thinking. These are not words we commonly associate with public transportation, much less the valuable piece of infrastructure we call a bus stop. But this hasn’t stopped some architects and designers from deciding to put together something extraordinary for all the daily commuters that wait, rain or sun, night or day, for a bus to show up.

Internet users from all over the world share the signal and, at times, bizarre yet interesting bus stops they have encountered, so if you are waiting for a bus, congratulations; otherwise, get comfortable and be sure to upvote your favorites. (H/T)

If some of these stops seemed luxurious, in the 18th and 19th centuries, when coaches and carriages were the primary overland transportation, travelers would find inns and similar establishments along the route. Imagine a bus stop with beds, a restaurant, and other amenities.

An early example was the Angel in Islington, a multi-floor building where people could eat, sleep and refresh when entering or leaving London for one trip. Modern travel is fast enough to require these sorts of establishments no longer, but we can find their spiritual successors in the rest stops dotted along highways worldwide.

Nowadays, a seat and some protection from the elements are considered sufficient. These are welcome additions for anyone who has to wait in the rain for transportation to arrive regularly, but this has also perhaps been the cause for some fascination with “unique and interesting” bus stops. After all, if most are just brick, concrete, or glass boxes, anything more will draw a person’s attention.

Amazing Idea For A Bus Stop

Indeed, the average bus stop is so commonplace that many of us overlook them, despite interacting with them in one way or another constantly. Bus stops are generally where trash cans are placed; many will feature advertisements that may catch our eye even if we ignore the location. In this way, they already serve some public utility. Similarly, one might use a stop to shelter from the rain, even if they aren’t taking a bus anywhere.

Just because they are commonplace and practical doesn’t mean they must be bare. This list shows all the creativity one might find when designing a stop in some places, but certain luxuries are becoming standard in some areas. For example, bus stops may be enclosed and air-conditioned in particularly hot countries like India, Turkmenistan, Israel, and the UAE, so passengers don’t have to sit in the blistering heat for extended periods.

Ultimately, the age-old issue of costs prevents bus stops from being as comfortable, interesting, and unique as possible. Similarly, many areas have rules and regulations dictating specific standards that must be met. Overall, this is a good thing, as public utilities should be safe and functional, but the practical nature of public transportation often limits how creative one can get with it.
