First Class Bus Stop by George Barratt-Jones


We all know it, taking the bus isn't the most fun thing to do.
So why can't it be more luxurious and fun? Why can't the start of the day be more fun?

So I created the "First Class Bus Stop". Serving people coffee, tea and a home made cookies. While cafe music is being played in the background.

People can come to have a chat. Get to know the people in their neighbourhood.

Turning to otherwise boring time waiting for the bus. Into something hopefully more enjoyable.

This project was all about creating more fun. Making people 10% happier.
