Post your station or stop
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.

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.

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

It has 80's/90's postmodern look and elements that distinguish it from simple modernism (or functionalism). This could also be a translation error so correct me if I'm wrong, but

I'm not exactly an expert, but I called it modern because of the simple, exposed design with clean lines. po-mo came afterwards with bright colors and adding back a sense of whimsey and non-essential decorative elements.
so, if Ikea is Modern; pic related is Po-Mo.

also, Moe Sizlac has a workable definition:

Yes post-mo, especially the pieces you see in exhibitions go hard. Here, in architectural talk, pic related is framed post modern to distinguish it from the rather prominent international style and concrete brutalism of previous decades.

People have literally broken their bones from slipping on the stairs in the winter. It can take some 5 minutes plus because of the length and height of the stairs, as well as long walking paths around the pits to get from one lane to the other. Missing a connecting train is a daily occidence for many. I don't understand why they cant just make a 20m retractable ramp over the lanes in the meantime, atleast for rush hour. It could be manual or automated with a barrier. If you can make it for street crossings and cars it should be possible here too. It probably would be cheaper compared to the monster of staircase, based on man power and resources needed to set it up, no? Sorry for the rant, I'm pissed about it.

The Georgia Ave - Petworth station, by far the one I have used the most at this point. It’s a typical underground metro station, nothing special but that’s part of the charm, that is the uniformity of metro stations, traveling through god knows how many stops, each consisting of a spacious, tall, wide waffle dome gently lit up by platform lighting. Metro for me is such a comfy experience, especially later at night when you’ve been out drinking.

Here is halfway up the Wheaton escalator, the station itself is quite interesting because of its shotgun style and the lowness of the ceilings, I recently found out that the escalator is in fact the longest one in the western hemisphere which surprised me a little, although I must admit it always was a leg workout going up it.

Now this is one of the most interesting platforms in the system, the green line platform at Fort Totten, which seamlessly transitions from an open, naturally lit platform to the subterranean, gently illuminated, platform under the characteristically parabolic, waffled, ceilings. I also quite like the design of the lights on the open section.

And finally, the Dulles station, one of the newest in the whole system, the design is quoted different, and yet its sleek, space-agey, and somewhat blocky and bureaucratic architecture still seems to me to be within the general aesthetic spirit of metro as a whole (and also goes perfectly with the airport itself, whose design I am also quite fond of), this picture was taken after arriving back home after a short vacation, the in which the post sunset colors of the sky blended with the station itself was quite beautiful and really seemed to me to be emblematic of what I love about the DC area.

And before I go, here is the bus stop which I most frequently used, and used far more than any train station in the city, it certainly is nothing special but damn if it isn’t one of the most familiar sites imaginable, whenever I go back home it’s always a breath of fresh air walking up and waiting there for the bus to arrive. I would also like to say that there are lots of other cool metro stations that I unfortunately did not have pictures of, including the oft photographed, vast and cavernous Metro Center and L’Enfant Plaza, but also the unique semi open station at PG plaza with its high, flat, roof, or the rolling, low, horizontal ceilings of Anacostia. In terms of the trains, I’m not too picky but I like the 6000 series and below the most, they just have a more unique and officey atmosphere which goes with metro’s general aesthetic, and I much prefer the white and brown paint jobs, which again, go much better with the general aesthetic of the system and city itself.
