Portable Bus shelters in Detroit
The bankrupt city has more than its share of abandoned housing, but at the same time, it has a lack of bus shelters, so designer Craig Wilkins decided to solve the problem by reusing abandoned house parts to make seating and shelter from the elements for the people waiting for a ride. Parts are either donated or salvaged and are assembled to create comfortable spaces that can be moved as routes or needs change. To make the stops a little more fun, artists create unique murals on each stop as well.

The soviet Roadside bus stops
http://www.polarinertia.com/jan07/bus01.htm
The roadside bus stop serves a simple purpose – to show where the bus will stop and to provide some comfort and shelter for waiting passengers. One would think that the Soviets would have come up with one universal design for this community structure – simple, functional and cheap to mass produce. However, in many instances this was not the case, much time, effort and imagination went into many roadside bus stops. The sky was the limit with different shapes and design– blocks, domes, columns, towers, A-frames and archways, even ones shaped like birds, yurts and hats. If the bus stop was less bold and daring with its architectural design then the creators would often attract attention with decorating the structure with murals or mosaics. The themes that these decorated bus stops took usually varied depending on the region, often reflecting the local culture, history, or industries.
