They added that a typical bus shelter costs $50,000 and requires the co-ordination of eight separate government departments.

Look at what a normal one costs in effort and dollars. This is a company offering to do it for 1/5th the price and a fraction of the space, likely meaning less departments involved.

In a way this isn't the grift. Its band-aiding a previous grift with a lot of buzzwords to dodge that fact.

This is the reason you never want to much government. Everything they do is like this.

A shopping mall would install shade for 1500 bucks. Maybe it's more than that. Anyways, I know a guy that sells it if you want some.

And a carpenter could make a shade that does the same function for like 400$ and the lumber with his electrician buddy coming along to set up the light.
