bradford now has singing bus shelters. i had to check that it wasn’t april 1st already.

a hidden camera spots the colour of a waiting passenger’s clothes and then triggers an audio sequence piped out of hidden speakers in the scarlet walls. the much more useful aspect of the super shelter is that they have heated seats! now that is something you want in a cold and rainy bus shelter.

this “practical people’s art” is part of bradford’s bid to be european capital of culture 2008. sorry bradford, but that honour is to be newcastle gateshead’s (a single entity with no conjunctions, apparently)
