Metro Launches NextBusStop

Metro's NextBusStop program is apparently still in a feasibility study stage at 13th and H. Too bad for this guy.
Got another nomination for suckinest bus stop in Metro? Show us.

Updated information on NextBusStop:

The driver asked me yesterday "What happened to the bus stop?"
Like I personally tore it down and left it that way.
I asked him "don't you know what happened?"
His reply "Just because I work for Metro doesn't mean I know what's going on."
