Bus stops

I would like to take a moment to illustrate my view on (the new) bus stops. I'm sure Craccum has talked about this already but I'd like to bring it up anyway.

Definition: The new bus stops have 3 walls and a roof. One of the walls are made out of a sheet of glass, which is placed on the right (facing the road) of the bus stop so patrons can see a/their bus approaching.

Problem: There are some people who like to stand infront of this glass thinking it’s not a see through wall, which inevitably blocks the view of everyone sitting at the bus stop. People also like to lean on the glass or chat for ages with friends standing in big groups infront of the glass.

I frequently take the bus home from uni and it’s usually the furthest bus stop near the music school.
Why do people stand in front of the glass?
-To have the people sitting down at the bus stop look at their ‘bottoms’?
-Because there is no where else to stand?~ when really there is…
-Because they really don’t take into consideration anyone else at the bus stop?
-Because they probably don’t even think about it?
It’s probably the last one and maybe I am being a bit harsh…

Message: Please, if you're at a bus stop (say the one on the far end, near the music school), DO NOT stand in front of the glass and block the view. People can’t actually see their buses and it REALLY sucks when you miss your bus.

Blogs enable people to present their views on certain subject matters, i.e. this blog has helped me to get this bus stop message out to you all. -this is my attempt to link this blog in to the actual Technoculture and New Media course, but really I just wanted to present my immense frustration of sitting at the bus stop today. -please also bear in mind I've only had 4hours sleep.
