It’s not an actual bus stop. The bus stop is part of the installation. It depicts the scene where Totoro takes the cat bus [1]. But I was hoping it had an umbrella too.
Fair enough. I believe there is a map for people with disabilities which might have better info. Frankly speaking, I can’t think of any city where all bus stops have chairs and covering.
Here in Hungary all major cities have that, in fact, I lived in a very small village with like 100 people, and even that had a damn "container" or whatever and a bench inside, to protect against the rain and to be able to sit down. It has been modernized further by now (yes, for these ~100 people), but what they did then was extremely cheap yet effective, so there is no excuse for lack of benches and shelters at bus stops, really.
And you can down-vote me for me not liking Tokio for the fact that their bus stops have no benches, but that is a must-have for someone like me who has disabilities, and many cities in Hungary (and even small towns) have benches and whatever you could call it (container shelter of some sort) to protect against the rain, so don't tell me Hungary is better in this regard than Tokio, or is it? This is surprising to me. Maybe Tokio does not have enough elderly people or people with disabilities?
In any case, if shitty villages with a population of 100-500 have benches and a shelter at bus stops in Hungary, surely Tokio could do it too, I wonder why they are not doing it.
If you want I could probably find it on Google Maps FWIW. I hope the pictures are old (pre-modernization).
Do not mistake my comment for hatred of Tokio, however. It is just a place that I simply cannot visit for such reasons. There is nothing more to it.
I totally get that, everyone has their own needs! But again, yeah, there are thousands of bus stops just in Tokyo. Just out of my memory, I can think of 5 bus stops (different lines) within 3 minute walk of my place. I don't think it would be feasible to put infrastructure for every single one of them. with seats and covering, so my assumption is simply impossible to maintain.
All major stations, stops and etc. that I can think of have them though.
