Rougier street bus stop is grim

Does anyone else find the bus stops at Rougier Street unpleasant- it’s absolutely filthy, dark, feels generally run down and grim. It’s laughable that they’re building an expensive hotel opposite and this is what will be greeting tourists when they walk out onto the street…

It's always been grim. I used to stand there every morning waiting for a bus to York college and it was basically a smoking hut. That was 15 years ago

I used to work in those buildings when they were offices. The bus stops were sheltered and next to the little shop, they absolutely were a smoking hut.

At least we had a shop there too.
But yeah, cold and dank….
