    It does look miserable but if the bus stop was before the landing then would it not prevent cars trying to take the turn before the island?

      I believe car drivers are capable of waiting 15 seconds while vehicle which most likely transports multiple times more passengers dropping/picking those passengers. Car drivers wait hours in traffic jams for themselves, can wait a bit for bunch of people in a bus

        @Lysergid @OlPatchy2Eyes Is it a scheduled stop? Having a bus sit there for 5 minutes when it is running fast would really suck. But I’d need a lot more than such a screen shot to know if this is a horrible stop or one that just looks silly.

        There is a lot that goes into where stops should optimally be.

          Why sit there 5 mins? This looks like normal city bus stop. Bus arrives at scheduled time, picks up passengers and takes off. I believe great ‘merica supper power nation can manage what Eastern Europe nations made happen years ago. Yes you may have few mins delays but it’s not a disaster.

          If for whatever reason it must sit there for long time bust stop should be in a bay
