DART's new benches

[crescentboi]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but in the downtown area, Dart (or the city?) has replaced all the old, ugly concrete benches, with tastfull medal benches with arms. It actually helps make the look of a corner or area where they are located much better. Can anyone get pictures? If not I'll try later on.

Are they more comfortable?

Are these rail benches, the bus benches, or both? Is it all of them or just a few. Perhaps I should just go check it out myself, huh?

Sit on it!

Is it more comfortable.... Of people with a choice of car v. bus, I think more would take the bus if the bus stops were nicer. I hate seeing a sign denoting a bus stop and there is nothing but a bare dirt spot showing the where people stand to wait for the bus.

From what I noticed it's the bus benches downtown. They now have arm rails and backs to them so I'm sure they're much more comfortable. I haven't noticed a change by the trains, but didn't really look either. At first it was a few, and now I can't find one of the old concrete benches for the life of me! I think it's awesome! Spruced it all up!

I got a picture yesterday, but didn't post it in my other thread cause it's really crappy and not centered.. but you can at least see the benches. And people eating lunch.

Wow! a nice change.

And never sit on one of those concrete ones on a suburban line in the summer. You will burn yourself.
