Bus stop, bus goes

Sunny Sunday morning, grading hangover, dawdling round the web from the comfort of bed, perfectly delightful set of images courtesy of The Guardian. Props to Sheffield for the green roof. Perhaps the disappeared campus bus shelters on Johnson will be replaced with something equally simple, functional, and joyful (obviously I'm excluding the Dubai number here). Twould be an easy, city-life-improving measure; a number of these shelters though are clearly in rural locales - doing attractive, durable, and designed for heavy traffic would probably exclude hammocks and soft furnishings, and the Wisconsin winter needs to be accounted for. I guess the new State St. and Capitol Square shelters aren't bad in this regard (though I enjoyed the pre-demolition transformation of the old Square shelters into canvases for public art).

Oooh, Flickr yields oodles of funky bus shelters...
