This is one of the new signs from OC Transpo in Ottawa.  Yes it is bilingual.  Picture courtesy of C. Leech.

Believe it or not, this bus stop is in Paris, France.  Picture by C. Hobbs.

Okay, if there is a bus, you gotta have bus stops.  This bus was tracked down by that intrepid hunter R. Berger.

Okay folks, believe it or not, and you better because I have proof, there are bus stops on Antarctica.  The American base at McMurdo (Mac Town) operates shuttle buses that connect them with the New Zealand station near by (Scott Station) and the airfield.

This is the stop at Scott Station, yes it is chained to the ground.  Picture used by permission of S. Childress.

Bus with an Attitude.  The famous "Ivan the Terra Bus".  The tires are size 66x43x25.  Picture this one pulling up to your stop.

Yes, the standard Econoline chop job, well almost, these look like they are ready for a Monster Truck rally.

I'm sorry, I do not read Greek so I cannot translate what is at right.  (Okay, I have been informed that the translation is:  Athens Urban Transport Organisation (OASA))

A picture of a stop in Yamaguchi, Japan.  Borrowed from a web site somewhere.

This stop is located near the town of Kirkenes, Norway.  They have used the bucket from an old Excavator for a shelter.  Hey, as long as the wind is not blowing directly into it, it does provide shelter from the wind.  This can be very useful since the town is north of the Arctic Circle.

The drivers seem to be kind enough to let the nutty bus fans have a clear shot at the shelter to take pictures.

This stop is located at the intersection of Rue Franklin/Franklinstraat and Ave. Michel-Ange/Michel Angelo Laan, served by routes 21 (to NATO) and 28 (to Konkel).  This is a typical bus stop in the residential areas – the yellow pole has the stop name, the routes, and a timetable.  Note the "BUS" painted on the street to indicate no parking.  Picture & Text by R. Mullins.

Today I am posting you a typical bus stop in the town of Pisek in South Bohemia. This stop is off the main street in a quiet square ( sorry cannot remember the name !!) The bus is the oldest in the fleet of CSAD Pisek who run the town public transport services on behalf of the town. It is a 1985 Karosa B732. The regular fleet is made up of Mercedes Benz low floor buses which are two-three years old.

Second photo is of my village. My castle is hidden by the trees, but if you are able to click the button in the bottom right of the picture to enlarge, you can see part of the house among the brown trees which are chestnut trees and the leaves had changed colour. The photo was taken in autumn 2002 from a light aircraft....not mine !!

Roman Bus Stop.  More pictures from Italy can be found here.  You will also see pictures from Florence, Pisa, Lake Como and Venice.

Route #90 is a bus route operated by the Società navigazione del Lago di Lugano (providing ferryboat service on Lake Lugano).

Most (if not all) TPL stops have ticket machines. (Passengers are expected to buy tickets before boarding). The machines take Swiss Francs, Euros and credit cards.

stop is shared with the Swiss Post Office bus service (Autopostale).

A final note from C. Hobbs:  That's all folks. Hope everyone likes the Italian bus stop pix!

Sample TPL (Trasporti Pubblici Lugano) bus stops. (ed:  Actually real stops, not samples.)

Here are a few buses (gotta love that Mercedes, huh?).

"Tourist Train" bus service

A recent bus stop photo from Warszawa Polska (a.k.a. Warsaw Poland).  Submitted by T. Rhéaume.

Four of the photos are of the transit center in the heart of Durban, South Africa. One shot includes a bus. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of the day so there isn't quite as much activity. I wish I could've taken a ride somewhere on the bus but they discourage tourists from riding around on the bus or trains. Crime is so rampant they have a fear of having something happen to tourists. They even have people watching cars on the street.

The other picture is a picture of one of the bus stops. Looks like any bus stop in this country. They operate a lot of jitney service. These mini-vans get loaded up pretty full and it is not regulated so they are not all that safe. Accidents are quite common.  Pictures & text by P. McGregor.
