Bus Shelters

Yesterday I discovered the bad points of a bus shelter. Yesterday at about five minutes to five it started raining so we could get nice and wet waiting for the bus! The bus which is always on time (5.05) didn’t turn up and I found myself waiting for the next bus which was at 5.18. Due to the rain and me having no coat I stood in the bus shelter. It was one of those metal green cage like ones! There was one other lady already in the bus shelter. After the bus didn’t show up she lit up a cigarette and started to smoke. This is when I discovered the bad points of bus shelters. The bus shelter then became a smoke filled box. So I had the choice of being dry and smokey or wet and able to breathe fresh air! Surely if the smoker whats to smoke that badly they should go stand in the rain if they cannot wait till they get to their destination!! So really it’s not the bus shelters fault it did its job well maybe bus shelters should be included in the smoking ban!
