This bus stop has a “bench” which provides seating for 1 person

  1. Ive spotted these popping up near me recently. A single uncovered bench at a bus stop with no shelter.

    Someone planned that as reasonable.

  2. Trying to figure out the location, is this near Dundrum? Specifically Dundrum town centre?

  3. The result of 1 person sending endless complaints about lack of seating probably.

  4. I’d love to know how expensive this was. The OPW probably paying 200K per cheek.

  5. These are designed to stop people sleeping on benches hence why there is no shelter or even a bench for more than one person.
    They’re paying a fortune to people to come up with inventive ways to not look like cunts.

  6. fuckin hell the replies to the OP giving the stop name in irish “what is this some kinda gaelic curse?!”

  7. Unfortunately, this is one of the more passive aggressive forms of “anti homeless infrastructure”. Not long enought to lie on, not large enough to slouch on, and no shelter from above or below. Its there to tick a box of accessibility in that technically its providing seating, but avoid responsibility for those using it for more than a bus stop rest.

  8. To stop poor people trying to sleep or young people congregating. 

  9. Probably cost €300k for this euro minimalism architectural genius design !!! 😅

  10.  I think they blew the bus shelter budget on bike shelters.

  11. I saw this the other day and was shocked. There’s too many bus stops with no shelter or seating at all, but this is pathetic. Purely to stop the homeless from potentially sleeping on it.

  12. It’s an example of hostile public infrastructure – specifically hostile to homeless people trying to sleep on it.

  13. Is that one of those things where they have money left over in their assigned budget so they spend it on shite like this so they don’t get less money the next year?

  14. The bus stops in wexford town you can barely put an arse cheek on them…I heard it’s to stop homeless people sleeping on them

  15. It’s already crossed posted to r/HostileArchitecture
