it's because we have an integrated bus system with the metropolitan region.

So, you only pay one pass and u can go for anywhere in Curitiba or other city that is integrated.

And the "tube" is a easy and fast way to enter in the bus.

This video show the public transport evolution in Curitiba.

At first, I thought the writing on the tunnel above said "Oscar Mayer", because the shape is similar to a hot dog.

With such system, it is more secure for passenger and they can take how much bus line they want without paying a new ticket. It is really nice.

I like the whimsy of the watermelon stop. Also thought the loneliest stop in Santiago was funny.

The bus stop in Brazil is great for security reasons. I lived there for a while and the stories you hear from about public transportation are horrendous.

Hmm, that would be quite usefull to prevent issues of people running into eachother when trying to get on or off the bus, and keeps people from trying to sneak on and avoid paying.
