No Signage at Your Bus Stop? Make Your Own
A Brazilian project asks frustrated bus riders to take matters into their own hands.
A year ago, Gabriel Gomes was waiting for the bus in his hometown of Porto Alegre in Brazil. Gomes had recently pasted a sticker on the pole next to the stop, a little white strip with a pink bus on top and the question, "What bus passes here?" in Portuguese.
An older lady, he recalls, was reading the bus numbers that fellow commuters had since scrawled on the ad-hoc sign.
