Monday Mural - Bus Stop 1

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.

  4. I 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.

  6. They are very bright and if the intent was to reduce graffiti, it seems to have worked.

    1. I hope so too Klara. They've been clear for 5 1/2 years so hopefully they continue that way.

  18. That 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.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Thanks Sara, yes those benches are not made for sitting around too long :)

  21. So I had to scroll back to see the first one. The holes for seeing the on-coming bus are a good idea.

    1. Thanks Violet sky. All the cement bus stops have those holes that you can peep through to see the bus approach.
