Do you often wait for the bus？ Some bus stops have seats. People can sit and wait there. Some stops have a bus shelter（候車亭）. It keeps people dry from the rain（不被雨淋）. And some bus stops are much more interesting than others. What are they？ Lets go and find out.

Can you see this bus stop？ It is a stop in the Yosemite National Park（優(yōu)勝美地國(guó)家公園），US. The park has a great view（風(fēng)景） of natural beauty（自然美）. People want to keep（保持） it. So they built（建造） bus stops with wood（木頭） and stone（石頭）. They are trying to hide（隱藏） the stops in nature（大自然）.

So many big “fruits”！ They are bus stops in fruit shapes（形狀） in Japan. People there built these bus stops for the Travel Expo（旅游博覽會(huì)）. Lots of visitors（游客） like the interesting bus stops.

Curitiba（庫(kù)里蒂巴） is a city in Brazil（巴西）. Buses there are very fast. They are called Bus Rapid Transit（快速公交）. People wait for them in a big black tube（管道）. It is the bus stop. People have to pay（付錢） first before they enter（進(jìn)入） the stop. So when the bus comes，they can get on quickly（快速地）. It saves（節(jié)約） time for all passengers（乘客）. Many people take this fast bus every day.
