Have you noticed the new Big Blue Bus stop installations? It appears the city has done away with the typical bus stop bench, choosing a plastic two-seat circular seating. For a city that promotes public transit, the new seating is not conducive or inviting to the public. Have you noticed the size of the two-seater bus stops, and have you noticed the average size of the population? Santa Monica, I agree we are an active city, however most butts on the bus won't fit those seats! Lastly, it appears only two butts per stop is permitted! Let's make public transportation inviting not limiting!
