Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

It does look miserable but if the bus stop was before the landing then would it not prevent cars trying to take the turn before the island?
I believe car drivers are capable of waiting 15 seconds while vehicle which most likely transports multiple times more passengers dropping/picking those passengers. Car drivers wait hours in traffic jams for themselves, can wait a bit for bunch of people in a bus
@Lysergid @OlPatchy2Eyes Is it a scheduled stop? Having a bus sit there for 5 minutes when it is running fast would really suck. But I'd need a lot more than such a screen shot to know if this is a horrible stop or one that just looks silly.
There is a lot that goes into where stops should optimally be.
Why sit there 5 mins? This looks like normal city bus stop. Bus arrives at scheduled time, picks up passengers and takes off. I believe great ‘merica supper power nation can manage what Eastern Europe nations made happen years ago. Yes you may have few mins delays but it’s not a disaster.
If for whatever reason it must sit there for long time bust stop should be in a bay
@Lysergid schedules should be set up for 'normal' traffic, some days have less traffic than that.
