Transit Art

This page is dedicated to art either involving transit, or located at bus stops.  This is intended to show that bus stops and other transit facilities, do not have to be ugly.

This sculpture is located at a bus stop in Mountain View, California.  The stop is located next to the Middlefield Light Rail Station.  Yes that is a boy and girl riding a croc., or maybe a gator.

Tempe, Arizona has several stops where the shelter is a work of art.  Below are pictures of three of them. Click here to go to Tempe's site for their shelters.

The above shelter is located at Tempe High School.  It was in surprisingly good condition considering the number of school kids that probably use the stop.

This shelter is located on Mill St. in downtown Tempe.
