An obvious BUS stop

The act of waiting in a bus stop is dreadful for many, usually not enough room to rest. Some bus stops don’t have anywhere to sit at all. But in South East Avenue in the Highland town neighborhood of Baltimore they made an art out of it.  This BUS stop is made with wood and steel, stands fourteen feet tall and seven feet wide. ‘B’ provides shelter, ‘U’ for sitting and ’S’ to lie back while they wait; a fun place for the inevitable waiting in the middle of the city. The BUS stop was crafted by the Spanish art collective, as part of a project which brought European artists to a transit stop in each of the cities three art districts. This bus stop design works for many reasons, the big advertisement of the word communicates daily in an artful manner for people to commute. The art might bring a younger range of commuters. This bus stop reaches out to the community as being a part of their city.
