What do you think of waiting at bus stops?
It's fine, especially with a book/smart phone
What do you do at a bus stop?
Read, talk to my wife if she's around
What are the bus stops like where you live?
Really varied. If i'm heading north, my closest stop is a pole in the ground. If I'm headed south, its a sheltered stop (only a roof and two glass sides in this case) with a small digital screen with the next bus times on it, which is very useful.
The sheltered bus stops have those slanted seats (to stop homeless people sleeping on them), which are comfortable for maybe 5-10 minutes but after that you might as well stand. They're also covered in various ads. Sometimes they smell like piss but not as bad as the older model of sheltered ones made of brick, that are a bit more secluded (and good for pissing in).
How do you get information about when your bus comes?
If sheltered, I follow the digital screen. If not, I look at the app. My city bus app has like a map which shows you where your current bus is. It's not always super accurate but close enough to be convenient.
Is there anything you feel bus stops are lacking, in terms of comfort, information or whatever you can think of?
The sheltered ones could have more sides, sometimes when it rains sideways a roof just isn't enough. This would also keep you out of the wind.
I think they should bring back normal bench seating. maybe if we took care of the homeless problem correctly, we could all be comfortable (the great british tradition of making everyone suffer to ensure a particular minority suffers is very clear when you see our anti-homeless measures). I would prefer less ads and more accurate bus tracking. I don't really care too much about games and entertainment stuff, but it certainly wouldn't hurt.
