15 original stops where waiting for the bus will turn into a real pleasure (16 photos)

I suggest you take a look at the most interesting bus stops from different parts of the world.





Public transport stops are usually quite an unremarkable part of the city's infrastructure. They have become something mundane, to which no one pays much attention.

Some projects can be called simply beautiful and unusual, others can also claim the title of practical.
