This fun bus shelter inspires laughter and double-takes as they ride / drive / walk past it. The VW style and bugs, especially roly-polies (aka Pill bugs-Armadillidiidae) becomes a surreal but comical mashup of the classic VW beetle and a local insect that most people are familiar with. The “bug” incorporates the front and back portions of an actual upcycled VW Beetle body stripped of its interior and engine parts, cut to become the abstracted “face” of the insect and the end of its “tail” retaining and utilizing its bumpers, hood, bonnet, headlights, taillights and the architecture of the primary seat.
