L.A.’s Bus Stops Need Shade. Instead, They Got La Sombrita.
Seeking an inexpensive way to provide relief from the sun to waiting commuters, the city has installed structures called Sombritas at a handful of stops. Their design has raised eyebrows.

our suburban community is interested in having some bus shelters. Just wondering whether there are other people who have helpful experience to guide our 'journey ' Thanks.

I spotted installing a water tank shaped bus shelter at the bus stop two down from mine on my way home this evening, and I felt so relieved I almost wanted to cry! For a while, it looked like they were going to remove them all, which would have been a crying shame, because those are the best! They keep the weather off, and their seats are plastic, so they don't get freezing cold in winter.
