Waiting for a bus to arrive can feel like forever -- unless you're waiting at a Magazine Kiosk Bus Stop. Found in Mexico, this shelter lets you kill time with reading material.
Created by Paty Avelar, this curvy shelter has a modern frame made of wood, glass and steel. It has a long seating area to relax and read the 114 magazines sold at the stand. The Magazine Kiosk Bus Stop is a great way to pass the time, but one must be careful that they don't get up in reading or they'll miss the bus.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- Creating opportunities for reading and leisure activities in public spaces to enhance the waiting experience and promote literacy.

- Designing bus stops that offer a range of services, such as retail, relaxation, and entertainment, to cater to the diverse needs of commuters.
Sectors Adopting This
