I passed by a bus stop yesterday and there is now a no trespassing sign and a no loitering sign up. That seems odd for a public bus stop.

      I wouldn’t even say that it’s to be able to charge homeless people - how are they going to pay? It wouldn’t be particularly smart financially.

      It’s more about just not having them there. Say what you want, but if a bus stop reeks, it makes it much less attractive to take public transit. Of course, it just moves the problem somewhere else - but the transit authority doesn’t have to worry about it too much anymore.

    sometimes people just go to home despot and buy signs and put them up.
    i’ve it a lot with “no parking” signs on public streets when they want to reserve parking for themselves

    Yeah my city has a lot of homeless around bus stops.

    Is a bummer but it makes other people avoid those places like the plague and gives further bad names to public transport.

      I get that but they take away everything someone owns, prevent them from sitting or sleeping anywhere, throw them in jail or put them on a bus and send them to another state. I don’t see how any of this solves the problem.

    Always remember homelessness isn’t a problem in America’s society, it a feature of it. To keep people in line and to fear going on strike/fighting back. They like to keep a bit around to keep the society working Out of fear of becoming homeless, and throw the “bad” ones into slavery (aka prison)
