Although buses are an excellent means of travel, waiting is still an integral part of the experience. The majority of people are accustomed to unpleasant-smelling and vandalized bus shelters cluttered with cigarette butts and empty beer cans. However, in various towns across the globe, commuters are treated to a different waiting experience at uniquely designed and vibrant bus stops and shelters. From bus stations that resemble fruits to those that have misting systems installed to help you beat the summer heat, these creative and unusual bus stops are worth waiting in.
