Creative bus shelters outside of New York

by Benjamin Kabak

As street furniture goes, the bus shelters in New York City are pretty bland. While sleek, the new CEMUSA shelters could belong in Any Town, Any State, USA. That’s not a problem germane to New York though. Bus shelters should be far more functional than decorative.

Now and then though a little creativity can brighten up an urban cityscape. To that end, Toxel, a design blog, presents 15 unusual and creative bus stops. The swing in London, the hammock in Vancouver, and the air conditioned shelter in Dubai are my favorites.

Those fruit bus stops are right up our alley–instant photo op if we saw them. Liked the school bus stop in Athens Georgia too.

Those are some cool bus stops but I wonder who has to mow the one in England? My fave though is the strawberry from Japan I can imagine a slightly more cheerful commute seeing that in the morning.
