Bus Stop Market
+
From Tuvie
Creative marketing works well for bus stops because commuters often wait there for their next bus. This would be a great opportunity to make use of this well used, or well passed space. Commuters look for these places as a place to rest while they wait. What if these spaces were converted to market stands. It could be a place for a vendor, or even an interactive space for information sharing. Perhaps there is a large interface such as that of the Microsoft surface where visitors can interact and click and drag different things, perhaps find recipes that other visitors left, discover new foods, local events, or even find nutritional facts. Areas without market stands could have maps showing where the different stands are located.

And if one is already at a bus stop, can the interface provide a route (walking or bus) to a market, garden, or food pantry. Could you enter in your recipe and it give you a source map for everywhere your food came from, and then provide an alternate map for local substitutes in a graphically informative way? Could this interactive installation size you up with sensors while you stood there weight, height, breath, skin, and other health indicators and give you recipe suggestions that may clear your acne or calm your nerves? How do you store this information you gather in passing? Will you enter in your email address so that it's waiting there on your computer when you get home? Do you have a computer at home?
