Post your favorite or most used train station or bus stop.

Once a year or so I like to start this thread, it usually ends up pretty interesting.

I'm a passionate bus stop collector. Currently I'm extremely obsessed with Ukrainian bus stops. My Ukrainian collection numbers well over a thousand bus stops; best country to for bus stop hunting I've been to. I've got photos of bus stops from all across Europe though.

Pic related is a bus stop in the Petrykivka art style, which is part of Unesco's intangible cultural heritage.

One of my all-time favorites is this beauty from Lipcani, Northern Moldova.

>>2036072
A dilapidated bus stop somewhere in Kosovo.

>>2036072
That is adorable.

>>2036073
Tipi style bus stop in Iskateley, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia.

>>2036074
This one from Northern Ukraine is lovely too.

>>2036077
A modern bus stop on the shores of frozen Lake Mjosa, Norway.

>>2036078
Camouflage bus stop in Sümeg, Hungary.

>>2036079
An intriguing mosaic art bus stop from Goian, Transnistria. It was a popular style in the Soviet era. They're still commonly found all across the successor states of the Soviet Union.

>>2036081
>Transnistria
Sir, it's called Moldova.

>>2036081
More bus stop sovl from Ukraine.

>>2036083
I just wanted to specify the region.

Look at my four million population city central station, dawg.

>>2036131
>European Capital of Culture
Oh no, sorry anon.

>>2036131
I don't think it can transport 4 million people with wooden doors.

>>2036131
is that greece? everything about the rail system sounds like an utter shambles

>>2036394
>wooden doors

Tokyo station.
my workplace.

It's hard to find a lot of good pictures of it because it doesn't get a lot of use nowadays. The station isn't as nice as it looks here because on the other side is an abandoned strip mall. A developer wants to build apartments there, but as you can imagine after resident push back about neighborhood character (in reference to the abandoned strip mall) the county voted it down but there's a state law that's supposed to override it so last I heard the developer is making the project bigger out of spite. I'm unironically planning on moving into the city due to lack of TOD in the county. The train gets you downtown so quickly but the closest apartments are so far from the train station all your time savings are gone. Would love to live in an apartment here but oh well.

And the tram one(RIP 56)

Is the strip mall an 'historic building' or are the residents upset by something else? Like is it going to be a big ass building blocking views or like low income housing brining shitty people to the neighborhood?

Built in 1873, rebuilt in 1884, and expanded in 1905.

Do you guys prefer open platform or building interior?

>>2039442
Definitely building interior. Big art deco and union station styles are sovl.

>>2037142
speaking of TODs I feel like too many county governments and developers are too scared to go dedicated and fully make a residential/mixed use area car-free or car limited. I dont know if it is because of state zoning laws or the dot but yeah.
TODs could be much more effective if parking was just restricted to essential personnel rather than residents.

Also a big problem with Metros outside of NYC, Boston, Chicago and Washington is that there is not enough coverage. Most only have 1 relatively long line with smaller line/s that spurs out of the main line

For example take Miami as an example. One big flaw with the beach corridor is that it doesnt take into account expediting the journey from MIA to Miami Beach. The problem with the beach corridor as proposed is that it only serves dwn twn, and for tourists that detour increases the journey to over and hour even if the metro mover has ROW.
And bus lanes on arterials have always been a meme.
What we need is a metro rail line that goes directly from Lincoln Road to the airport much like an upgraded 150 bus route

Manchester Piccadilly may not be the prettiest example of Victorian brickwork, and the original brick front has been replaced by a dull 60s block, but I feel at home there.

Partick, Glasgow

>>2040884
And the corresponding bus station

>>2040885
Plus here’s the new Hairmyres station in East Kilbride, which I visited today

>>2036052
came here to post this! based ke/n/sington enjoyer

>>2039442
cool station but also a great argument for outdoor platforms because of how got-dang confusing it is in there. prolly easier for locals but I prefer the simplicity of a good ol fashioned platform

>>2040888
checked
>got-dang confusing it is in there
It's designed after the mythical labyrinth of ancient Greece but instead of a minotaur it houses countless fentanyl addled schizos who will shout slurs at you.

I pray and hope that they actually fix Penn Station.

I've lived pretty much my whole life in rural Victoria, whenever I take the train into Flinders Street Station in Melbourne I am blown away by the architecture and just the general scale of the building and the surrounding square.

>>2040995
That's pretty

>>2040941
Just make sure not to rank C**mo tomorrow because he'll torpedo anything related to transit

Just love the Piedmont service in general, except the F59PHI's. Fuck them.

>GO Transit MPI Express
Peak Canuck railroading. In a few decades it'll be as quintessential to Canadian rail as the F40PH was to the US.

>>2045785
The F40 is already pretty engrained in Canadian Culture, it's on one of their bank notes

They never should have built MSG.
Or torn down Reading Terminal to build the Philly cross SEPTA piss tunnel.

>>2047870
here's how it looks from the front, even though it's not that impressive
