Okay so, there's a bus stop in my city with the bus schedule printed ON THE ROOF! How the hell am I supposed to read that without getting a crick in my neck?!! The designer needs a reality check.

That's outrageous! I mean, it's hilarious too but seriously...who designs a bus stop schedule ON THE ROOF? Someone should get them a pair of globe-shaped glasses so they see the world as a planetarium too. 🌐

Maybe they're trying to train us for astronaut missions? 🚀 Next goal: Bus schedules on the MOON. Gotta keep that neck craned, ya know?

I mean, this isn't just a slight oversight; it's a complete disregard for usability. There are principles of good design, and certainly, high on that list is that information should be in positions where people can easily access it.
Firstly, the typography should be legible, contrast should be strong enough to enable users to see it clearly, and placement of the information should consider where the users’ eyes will naturally fall. Placing a bus schedule where you have to crick your neck to see it is like... putting a fire exit on the 10th floor of a tower block and only accessible by ladder.
All In all, this is an example of truly crappy design in action.

Ha, that's bonkers! How do they expect anyone to read the schedule when it's mounted on the roof? Feels like an episode from a prank show.

I know that bus stop! It has been like that for years. I think it's supposed to be 'art' or something. A total pain in the neck, literally and figuratively!

Don't you know? The designer was an alien trying to mimic human 'bus-stop' habits but didn't quite get it right. They didn't understand what the roof was for and thought it was valuable information space 🛸
Lol dude, didn't know neck exercises were part of waiting for the bus! Talk about crappydesign, indeed 😄
