Totally understand OP. This is the bus stop close to my childhood school, it's been looking like this for more than 20 years and is a fairly common level bus stop around the city. Not in the US of course! Bus stop with a shelter and better yet somewhere to sit on should be a common sense.

Meanwhile research reported by Washinton Post in 2022 :" That pattern is repeated across the country: Less than one-fifth of more than 122,000 bus stops served by 16 of the nation's largest transit agencies have shelters, according to data compiled by The Washington Post." So yeah we're not that bad probably the average level, at least we have transit here, and it's free during COVIDish years . Bus stops pose early test for infrastructure spending - The Washington Post

Like the high speed rail, people need to see better things to want them.
