Bus Stop Swing Set Makes Commuting A Bit More Fun.

As adults, we need to take the time to remember to have fun sometimes. It’s not all working and going to and from work, you know! And fun doesn’t necessarily involve drinking out at a bar somewhere, at least not all the time. What happened to childhood’s playtime? Have we forgotten what made that so engaging?
This modified London bus shelter by Bruno Taylor gives commuters a chance to have a little bit of playtime during their morning commute. He went and attached swings to a number of bus stops around the city and while they probably didn’t last too long, they added a bit of fun to a few people’s lives. Why not make these part of every bus stop? Who doesn’t love to swing?

The answer is in the ad behind her. Get a laptop, finish some work on it while you wait - or play a game! But swinging..

Of course as adults are even less willing to share their toys than kids, you can expect fist-fights and knifings at that bus stop :w00t:

Is that the only bus stop with it or is all over the city? I’m recommending that here were I live

hahaha!
A president or prime minister basing their campaign on
building swing sets at bus stops would definately get my
vote.
Thanks for sharing.

“What I thought about this is that it is a good way to spend the time of waiting. Maybe in some point you will meet someone here while swinging and that someone will change your world.=) Talk about imagination! But kidding aside, it is a good way of reminiscing the good old times when you were young. But then I wonder if they could make it three swings?! So that the more the merrier?! hehehhe”

It’d be a lovely idea if not for a fact that it’s so easy to hit someone passing by or even throw yourself in the middle of the street (if you swing too hard). Plus you can be sure that as soon as kids would find out about this there’d be no more “quiet time on the bus stop” - you’d have to endure constant noise from playing children.
