What would you expect from a bus stop? It should be tidy and offer a little bit of shelter from rain or snow or maybe freezing cold. You would expect it to have a bench or chairs of some sort so that you can sit down while waiting for your bus. Some people had other things in mind, though.
Something as simple as a bus stop turned into a little living room, with furniture and TV and everything for a good afternoon nap.
