Your shade has holes in it. It's too narrow to really give any shade except for certain hours.
It gives as much shade as a pergola the rest of the time. A pergola would have been cheaper too. It cost around 12,000 dollars to make and install one of these. Or about 3k for a pergola of similar dimensions with a tarp.
I guess in places where a regular sized bus stop with bench wouldn't fit, this was their choice.
It was a dumb one though.
We can't have normal bus shelters because they will be occupied by bums. So instead of dealing with the bums we have to engineer anti-bum solutions while pretending they aren't anti-bum.
The correct solution is to use force against bums and keep them from making normal people's life worse. The "compassionate" (marxist) solution is to make life worse for everyone because that is more "equitable".
