It’s Final Four time in Streetsblog’s Sorriest Bus Stop tournament. After two rounds, only the least appealing, most dehumanizing bus stops are still standing.

On to today’s match… […]

Today marks the last match of the second round in Streetsblog’s hyper-competitive Sorriest Bus Stop in America tournament. So far this week, bus stops in Broomfield, Colorado, and Kansas City have staked claims to shame in the Final Four. The victor of today’s match will take on the winner of Boston vs. Henrietta (if you haven’t voted in that one yet, the poll is still open until midnight).

Kansas City’s entry overcame some tough competition from D.C. in the first round. Meanwhile, St. Louis County — also […]

With today’s match, the field of 16 in the running for the title of Sorriest Bus Stop in America has been revealed.
