I passed by a bus stop yesterday and there is now a no trespassing sign and a no loitering sign up. That seems odd for a public bus stop.

    I wouldn’t even say that it’s to be able to charge homeless people - how are they going to pay? It wouldn’t be particularly smart financially.

    It’s more about just not having them there. Say what you want, but if a bus stop reeks, it makes it much less attractive to take public transit. Of course, it just moves the problem somewhere else - but the transit authority doesn’t have to worry about it too much anymore.
