Barbados Bus Stop Appreciation Part I

You can tell a lot about a country from its bus stops. After all, waiting at bus stops is a big part of travelling by bus. If the government of a country really cares about its people, this will be manifested in bus stop design and construction.

This bus stop (located in St Peter's Parish) quite warmed my heart when I first saw it. You know you're in a nice country when the bus stops look like this.

There's shelter from the elements, a place to sit down, even a receptacle for trash. And it's set back from the road so you're not too close to the traffic going by. The design and materials are simple, yet elegant.

It makes me want to hug whoever was responsible.
