a Macon businessman donates 15 bus shelters, and he knows what it’s like to wait for the bus in the sweltering Georgia heat, or worse, in the pouring rain - in homage to his grandmother, who relied on public transportation in the rain or snow in Ohio

“I think she’d be really proud to see me make this impact in the community that I’m in now… to make sure these men and women who are using public transit are treated with care.”

Finally, some good news! A guy in Denver is building benches for bus stops after seeing woman sitting on the ground waiting for a bus.... because that city govt sucks like all the rest (can't fix potholes, can't install bus stop shelters)

James Warren was walking in his Denver neighborhood when something gave him pause. "A woman was waiting for the bus, sitting in the dirt. And I was like, 'Oh man, that sucks.' That's not dignified at all. We need to be doing better by our fellow city members," Warren told CBS News. 

"And so, I thought, 'I could do something about that, I can build a bench.'" That moment led him on a mission to help his community.

Warren found some scrap wood, thanks to construction sites in his neighborhood with piles of discarded wood. And, because his dad builds homes, he grew up around tools — he knew he had the basic skills needed to build a bench.

He's built 9 benches and has placed them at bus stops around the area,  and says when people tell him the benches inspire them, it inspires him right back to keep doing what he's doing. 

"Because it's cool, it's no longer just one dude doing something for his neighborhood, it's dudes and dudettes all over the community doing things for their neighborhoods. So, it's really inspiring to see that."

The construction class at Westerly High School in Rhode Island built a bus stop shelter for boy who uses a wheelchair, because unlike most kids, he can’t run outside at a moments notice to hop on the bus, and had to wait in the rain sometimes

The structure sits at the end of the driveway of the boy’s home, allowing him to wait in comfort for the bus that will take him to school

Someone might ask, "what's this got to do with 'things with wheels that are cool'"? 

I answer, the kid is in a wheelchair, and now people did a cool thing. Ergo, things with wheels, that are cool

can you say "bus stop" without the song kicking off in your head?

Someone took advantage of the pattern of holes in this bus stop bench to macrame a peacock into it.

Lane's Redwood Flat, Piercy California, 190 miles North of San Francisco, on hwy 101... I'm loving the tour bus and gas pumps. Top image, 1931

and this guy is annoying as hell, but he's got the history and photos to make this video interesting. Skip to 22 minutes 20 seconds to see what is left of where Lane's was

you can learn more about it from the Facebook page made to show photos of it,

Among other reasons it doesn't exist, like the flood in the 1960s, is that there was a huge bribery/corruption/con-game scandal in 1948 that was begun when a sheriff pointed out to the part owner manager, a Mr Grange, in 1948 that having two slot machines was illegal. 

Grange promptly told him that, no, he was sold the slot machines with the understanding he would pay kickbacks...thus unraveling a scheme whereby some lowlifes and defrocked law officers sold slots to the unsuspecting resort owners, claiming they were paying off the local authorities and attorney general to look the other way, while actually just pocketing the "payoffs" themselves.

is this smart or stupid? - trying to sell cars at a bus stop

This temporary establishment can be found in a bus shelter on the Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam.

it seems to me that it would be a genius idea to put your Uber or Lyft advertising there, at the bus stop, because bus riders might prefer to get a private car ride home, instead of getting onto a bus with people that can't afford a car. Riding a city metro bus sucks. Crazy people talking to themselves, babies screaming at moms that are acclimated to their noise, god knows if the seats have been cleaned since the last time a drunk made it wet with body fluids. 

A "Stranger Things" reference down by the San Diego trolley, where Netflix set up a “Stranger Things” bus stop

The “Shadow Monster” looms above the bus stop, which features areas that recreate the Byers family’s living room (Christmas lights and all) and the ’80s arcade from Season 2.

Bus stop, South Korea

That's clever, and sure beats what passes for bus stops here in San Diego

Some cool rat rods, from the dedicated Tumbler... Rat Rods Rule!

Doesn't that make you smile?

Must be owned by a diver, or a really innovative customizer

What better way to show pedestrians where the bus stop is?

See a gallery of the above South carolina prison bus rat rod at John's: http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2009/11/yeah-turkey-rod-run-is-coming-this.html

The above green car... looks like a new idea in rat rods, take a newer than 1960 vehicle and made a rat rod from it by getting rid of all the body work forward of the firewall. This one looks like a Buick, but I can't recall the model

I don't think I've ever seen a rod quite like this, unless you count the early dragsters from the 50's that were using a long wheel base chassis to set back the body for weight transfer to aid traction.

Wow. I think I posted a photo of this one before, I think it's a Seagrave roadster ... how cool are the various cans to the back of the gas tank?!
