Bus Shelters and Scottish Independance

Bus shelters were once boringly functional affairs built by local councils.
Some were iron-and-glass edifices covered in peeling municipal green paint. Others were made of brick and some in rural areas even had thatched roofs.
Then in 1969, two advertising billboard companies, "More O'Ferrall" and "London and Provincial", joined together to form a company called Adshel.

The idea behind the new firm was simple. Adshel would supply bus shelters to local authorities for nothing in return for the right to display advertising on them. In the early 1970s, it began installing its very first shelters in Leeds.

It's a big market. But quite how big can be hard to find unless you dig into the National Public Transport Data Repository

There you can find out which place in Britain has the least bus stops - and which the most.

Seemingly the Shetland Isles have the least at only 168 while Greater London has a massive 24,122!

I think that this inequality is a brilliant argument for Scottish Independence.
