At first I just laughed at this. But then I read this, its kind of impressive.

I hope those plants are wind tolerant and that bus never gets on the freeway.

Yes, but imagine the carbon footprint of hauling 35 acres of shrubbery around town, hundreds of miles a day. It's cute, but really no good for the environment.

I like the bus stop lawn idea...it'll generate a new job...a gardener to maintain and mow the roofs of bus stops.
