UNCG students hope to inspire better public transportation system
Interior architecture students at UNCG unveiled today a prototype bus shelter they created this past semester. The project, called "seeds for change," is intended to raise awareness about the city's lack of adequate bus shelters for its bus system. Students talked with Greensboro Transit Authority employees and bus riders and found that the city has only 64 shelters among 1,100 bus stops.
I was told the shelter, made mostly of pine wood, will stay on display for a couple weeks. Learn more about the project here.

I could furnish free shelters at EVERY bus stop in Greensboro if the City were interested.
