In Dusseldorf, Germany, there is a pleasant bus stop with a comfortable bench. But don’t wait for a bus there. It will never arrive.
People do occasionally sit on the bench, and wait for a bus. They come from the Benrath Senior Center which sits just behind it.
The bus stop is an ingenious solution to an occasional problem.
As those of you caring for elderly relatives with dementia know, our loved ones may need to be kept inside, behind locked doors, for their own safety. If they manage to get out of their care facility, a search will ensue. Employees look for them. If they don’t turn up quickly, the police are summoned.
