No bus shelters

Why is it that Coral Gables, South Miami and Coconut Grove have next to no bus shelters? Take a drive down Sunset Road, Old Cutler or Main Highway from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m., and you will see the wonderful people who clean our houses, care for our elderly or our children, waiting for buses. They stand exhausted after long days on their feet, unprotected from sun or rain.

What a meaningful gift abundant bus shelters would make.
