The Birth of the SuperStop

ARLnow.com reports on the first ever "Super Stop" that has now been put into operation along Columbia Pike in Arlington (Walter Reed ‘Super Stop’ Now Open):

The first of 24 planned “Super Stop” bus stops on Columbia Pike opened this morning.

The stop, on Columbia Pike at the intersection with Walter Reed Drive, offers riders a brighter, more open and attractive take on the traditional sheltered bus stop. The stop features lighting, an electronic display that shows when the next buses are coming, and a number of unbranded newspaper boxes (not yet filled).

Arlington TV had this video presentation of the proposed series of Super Stops:
