Not far from my workplace is Curtin University, and recently driving through a street behind the university that I don't normally use - Hayman Road - I came across 3 brightly decorated bus stops.
After some investigation I found out these bus-stops were painted in December 2012 by Perth artist Dan Duggan and students from Collier Primary School, with the purpose of reducing graffiti on the concrete bus shelters.

Beatiful colours!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula, I also like these tones.
DeleteIt keeps for sure your attention.
ReplyDeleteThanks S.C., yes quite bright and colourful.
DeleteA funny decorated place to wait for a bus.
ReplyDeleteTrue, you can't be bored at the bus stop. Thanks Marianne.
DeleteI love this. The colors, the designs, and the implied graffiti look on some of the panels make this a fun and exciting place to sit and wait for a bus.
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks like graffiti, just much neater and colourful. Thanks Elizabeth.
DeleteHello again Sami! What a fun way to liven up a bus shelter! Very playful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Hi Christine, thanks, certainly a much prettier bus stop.
DeleteThey are very bright and if the intent was to reduce graffiti, it seems to have worked.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew, I hope it works forever...
Delete...what a colorful bus shelter!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom.
Deletewhat a beautiful spot to wait for a bus. I hope it won't be ruined by graffiti (as is the case here in Brussels, everything gets ruined)
ReplyDeleteI hope so too Klara. They've been clear for 5 1/2 years so hopefully they continue that way.
DeletePeople will not be bored while waiting for the bus!
ReplyDelete:)
Great idea.
Certainly not Catarina. There are quite a lot of painted bus-stops around Perth.
DeleteI think such art will decrease the boredom while waiting for bus .
ReplyDeletevery nice and interesting !
thank you for sharing my friend
Thanks for the visit Baili. Yes, it makes the wait easier.
DeleteVery nice! I like the combination of colours that they used.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marleen, yes the colour combination works well.
DeleteMakes waiting - or driving by... or stopping for that matter, even, much more fun. Wish we had more of those hee, too...
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris. Certainly more fun waiting for the bus.
DeleteEstá fantástica esta decoração.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

DeleteI like this bus stop a lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat.
DeleteA very interesting pattern. Nice way to keep it fresh at the bus stop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Halcyon.

ReplyDeleteUma delícia, um colorido lindo

Obrigada Gi.
DeleteLooks amazing Sami, there's a lot of good art over your way! I didn't recognize the artist's name but then I did when I realized he was from Too Much Colour ☺
ReplyDeleteI don't think I had heard of him before Grace.
DeleteThat is a very cool bus stop! I like the colourful mural but also the shape of it with the panels and the "anti-social" benches. Much more fun that regular ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara, yes those benches are not made for sitting around too long :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat sure brightens up a bus stop and makes it happy and cheerful looking.
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette.
DeleteSo I had to scroll back to see the first one. The holes for seeing the on-coming bus are a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Violet sky. All the cement bus stops have those holes that you can peep through to see the bus approach.
DeleteI'm a little behind with blog visits ... so had to scroll back to see this.
ReplyDeleteIt really looks good, I love the colour.
All the best Jan
Thanks for taking the time Jan.
