Imagine sitting at a bus stop that has numerous slots for people to distribute CDs, DVDs, pamphlets, books or places to hang paintings. Imagine sitting at a bus stop where a local artist has exhibited his or her work. Imagine sitting at a bus stop and having pamphlets from various organizations to read. The Elicit Thought Project intends to make all bus stops in San Antonio, TX, communal spaces.

We want either permission for everyone to display messages at any bus stop or for bus stops to be altered in a way that each has a bulletin board and that each can be used to facilitate the transfer of information and promote literacy.

We are also demanding that each bus stop have seating and an overhang.

PS: Only your name and comments will be viewable to others. Any other information that you provide will only be used to convince particular authorities of the petition's authenticity. PLEASE forward this petition to others. Our goal is 150 signatures.

I am currently drafting a formal proposal to present to our local transit authority board. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook page to show them that this demand has broad public backing. Send an email to your City Council representative today to insist on better infrastructure at our bus stops.

The response to this campaign shows that people are ready to claim these transit spaces as our own. Take this link and post it on your Facebook page right now to keep the pressure on our local transit officials. We need to keep this energy moving until we get those bulletin boards installed.

Finally someone said it. Half the bus stops in this city are just depressing metal poles in the dirt. We need shade and some actual life brought back into these spaces.
