Bus stop observations

It sits. Patiently, waiting for beings to enter its domain. To sit, inside, and be transported from one destination to the next. This large, rectangular object. Groaning, as it waits. I sit inside a structure meant to house those waiting for transportation. To shelter from gloominess that envelopes us. Mounted on the clear walls are items that appear to give us information about the rectangular object, sitting just outside. Numbers indicate a schedule of sorts, and routes at which the vehicle stops. Few beings are around. One being studies the information and hesitates, before asking another being inside the vehicle, appearing to be in control of it. The being asking questions walks away from area in another direction. Soon another being approaches the shelter, hesitates, and waits inside as well. Scratches and dim paint are scattered across the glass windows, as if once slightly removed or covered. No smoking. Yet the ground is covered in the remains of items once lit, now forgotten. More beings pass by, choosing not to wait.
