Creative Designs for Bus Stops

Who comes up with the design for bus stops for a city? Do they think about typical weather conditions for the location? Probably. Why not take into the consideration the local community? I think it would be a great idea if a city commissioned artists from the local community to design a bus stop instead. What kind of fun and interesting designs would they come up with?



I understand the monetary implications for this. Its obviously easier and more cost-efficient to design one, get some company to mass produce 1000 copies and install them throughout the city. Yet think of the personality that it adds.



Quite frankly, I am tired of the same old boring design. I think if the city held a design competition with clear requirements of what they want the stops to have they'd be surprised by the results. Each stop doesn't even have to be unique but one from a set of proposed designs. Still better than what we have today.
