So the designers created 14 foot tall installation of three letters that form the word “BUS”, made from wood and steel like traditional urban furniture. Each letter can accommodate two to four people, also they protect them from rain, wind, sun and inclement weather. All previous features make this bus station an ionic urban meeting point.
