The odd part

A bus stop that provides absolutely no shelter from the elements it was built to protect against.

What happened

The Selaiyur bus stop has finally reached its true form: a structure with no seats and now, no roof. This 'Zen' approach to public infrastructure ensures that commuters remain one with nature, experiencing the full force of the sun and rain while waiting for buses. It is a brilliant bureaucratic solution to maintenance—you can't have a broken roof or dirty seats if you simply don't provide them. It’s not a failure; it’s an outdoor standing-room experience.
