Bus Stops ---
Part 1:
Bus stops can be perceived as a physical location where issues like convenience, accesibility as well as availability determine the location of the bus stop. It is also a place where we find the sign that notifies the bus driver that it is a place to pick up/ drop off passengers as well as informing the bus driver that perhaps nearby, there is a popular cafe that regular passengers often purchase their coffee, or an academic institution where regular passengers feed on vast amounts of information that will probably be never used.

Bus Stops: Part 2:
We might find the neglected garbage can that over flows with unwanted flyers for a sale at the fur coat store and empty McDonald's soda cups.

We might find the nervous boy who is on his way to that cafe to meet the girl he first saw and fell in love with in philosophy 101 who asked him if he wanted to go talk about their class.

We might find the man sleeping in the occasional bus shelter who has no home and wanders from bus stop to bus stop looking for a bench to sleep on.

We might find the mother who is trying to stop her baby from crying while holding tightly to her other toddler's hand who tries to poke the man sleeping on the bench.

We might find the countless cigarette butts that litter the base of the bus stop post of the man who missed his bus.

We might just find the half-eaten apple core abandoned by the girl who didn't want to carry her garbage on to the bus.

We might just find a pigeon that pecks at a cookie crumb covered bus transfer that sits under the man sleeping on the bench at the bus stop.

You never know what you might find at Bus stops.
