Waiting for the bus can be one of the most excruciating experiences if not prepared for a long haul, but the Disco Bus Stop hopes to brighten things up a bit, literally. It boasts an iconic disco ball in the center complete with a light so that the shelter is essentially turned into a mini nightclub.
As fun and unexpected as the Disco Bus Stop is, it also serves a greater purpose as well. At night, these shelters are often poorly lit and can serve as the perfect place for wrongdoings. But the addition of such bright and reflective illumination will deter criminals day in and day out. So, for some creative spirit and peace of mind, the Disco Bus Stop is a winner.
