How inviting is your local bus stop?
A few small touches can make waiting more pleasant and show pride in your place. By caring for your local stop, you’re not only supporting commuters - you’re adding a little spark of joy for everyone passing by.
Ingredients:
- A local bus stop that needs a bit of love
- Cleaning gear – brush, dustpan, cloths or wipes
- Something welcoming – a seat, potted plant, or flower vase
- A creative touch – think art, a book swap shelf, or colourful signage
Method:
- Get support from your community, contact your local council and discuss your idea. You can clean bus stop and create pop-up installation or library without approval but you may need approval for mural, we encourage you to work with your local government
- Give your adopted stop a clean and tidy - is there any graffiti or rubbish that needs to be removed? Can you sweep the ground?
- With a clean and tidy bus stop canvas, you can now go about beautifying it. Add some colour, plants or seating if required.
- Remember to consider accessibility and safety when making any additions to your adopted bus stop - approvals may be required.
