Bus stop

Sofia is considering a proposal to reorganize bus stops around the Central Railway Station to improve connectivity and facilitate easier transfers between different modes of transportation.

I am full of good memories from my recent holiday experience on the Aegean island of Skiathos, but there is one thing that really stood out: the public transportation.

With the situation in public transportation being what it is in most parts of Greece, any exception is worth mentioning.

Apart from its aging fleet of buses, a thorn in Athens' urban transport is the network of stops where, in addition to problematic locations in several cases, there are broken canopies, damaged seats, tilted poles etc. Moreover, cars parked in front of bus stops make a bad situation worse.

The Environment and Energy Ministry has given the green light for the construction of a new central station for intercity buses in the Eleonas district of Athens. The project received approval after the environmental terms were approved.

Three people were killed and at least eleven were injured, four severely, on Sept. 30 when a public bus rammed into a bus stop in the capital Ankara's Mamak district.

A dog which was abandoned by its owners about a year ago at a bus stop has been since waiting for them to come back.

The dog has been given the name of "Can" ('Life' in Turkish) by locals in the Turkish resort town of Bodrum in Muğla.

A large hole opened under a bus stop in front of the "Aleksandrovska" hospital in Sofia. The teams of the Center for Urban Mobility secure the area and dismantle the stop, reports frognews. 

The alleged causes of the collapse are the heavy rainfall of the last days and the construction activities related to the construction of the subway nearby.

A brilliant initiative launched in the French town of Grenoble has found a way to fill that "dead time" wasted as people wait for the bus. With the press of a button, the Short Story Dispenser prints (for free) a small piece of fiction on a length of paper similar to a receipt that can be read in one, three or five minutes, the average time people spend waiting at a urban bus stop.

A metal object fell on a 31-year-old woman while she was waiting for a bus at a bus stop at Tsarigradsko shosse Blvd in Sofia, mediapool reported.

The victim was placed in the St. Anna Regional Hospital. It is supposed that the metal piece has fallen from a nearby building in construction.

A British man has been captured on video while verbally attacking a migrant in London and throwing his zimmer frame off a bus for ?speaking Turkish,? the Daily Mail has reported. 

The video shows a man, travelling with a baby, launching a racist verbal attack against a Turkish passenger for talking in Turkish while living in the United Kingdom for ?free benefits.?
