Kansas City's baseball stadium bus stop is so well camouflaged, you can’t even tell it’s a bus stop. But is it shitty enough to take home the coveted title of America’s Sorriest Bus Stop? After all, Missouri DOT—the agency in charge—already won last year's challenge. A repeat triumph is too tempting. (Image via streetsblog.org)

Each of the 16 bus stops that competed this year — and the agencies who oversee them — deserved a thorough shaming. No transit rider should ever have to wait in the rain for a bus with no posted schedule, or walk in a ditch along an eight-lane highway after disembarking. These conditions are deplorable but all too common in American cities.
