The first group of Dubai’s air-conditioned bus shelters is on

Cool, interesting, crazy, unusual, insane, amazing… you name it, Gulf News reports that the first group of Dubai’s 1,000 air-conditioned bus shelters is on, offering up to 14 people a soothing haven from Dubai’s hellish weather. As a start, these shelters along with the metro offer a new advertising space in the number one country in terms of advertising spends in the Middle East.

Some people say it’s too fancy, too opulent to do such thing, but I guess the idea is to offer practical alternatives that might convince people to use their cars less, and by that find a solution that might decrease traffic jams and parking lots shortage.

Gulf states are awfully hot in the summer, not to mention the humidity in some of these states, and having such shelters is a good idea to make life easier, instead of getting sweaty and suffering a headache while waiting for a bus, you can wait in a cool place till you get your ride.
