This is what the roof of most Bus Eireann bus stops look like around Cork. Not only are the busses not guaranteed to arrive when it’s raining, but you’re not sheltered from the rain either, especially when there is more than 4 people at the bus stop. Why did they choose to leave gaps?

Expansion joint for the hot weather
Gaps possibly to stop buckling due to expansion of the metal when hot. Might have been sealant between the sheets that has perished. If people weren’t such assholes hell bent on smashing up bus shelters, we’d probably have nice glass ones.
Its the distance most people tolerate things in ireland. They just implemented physically.
All jokes aside. Most top comments are jokes anyway.
Its bad engineering/design. There is a thing called standard of living where things like this are taken into account. Advanced countries these things are looked at and fixed, other places no attention is given to it
There was no gap there when it left the factory.
COVID thing isn’t it?
Leave the gaps to keep fresh air circulating.
Nah I don’t know, probably just fell apart with time. Likely just a panel gap that was originally sealed or had rubber in the space that fell apart.
Ah the owl can’t see it from my house effort
You okay hun?
If the gap was closed it might qualify for a G3 BER rating and some cunt would move in.
Have you tried not standing directly underneath it?
I’d assume something to do with it not catching the wind as much but I’m talking out my ass.
You’re lucky to even have a roof on your bus stop.
Look at this fancy fucker with a shelter. Most stops are just the sign out on the side of the road and gluck
See the green stuff growing? That wasn’t there last time someone maintained that shelter. :–/
