You, the voters, have decided: The worst bus stop in the United States is located in St. Louis, Missouri.

A "bus stop on Lindbergh Boulevard in suburban St. Louis won wire-to-wire in the voting for the Sorriest Bus Stop in America," according to Angie Schmitt's post announcing the "award" for Streetsblog.
"There was plenty of worthy competition, but something stood out about this stick in the ground next to what seems to be a divided highway. The only thing marking the stop is a single, lonely signpost — no sidewalk, no bench, and not much in the way of destinations."
Schmitt's coverage of the announcement includes mentions of the second place finisher in Cleveland, some of the comments inspired by the stops under consideration, and a comment from a spokesperson from Metro, the agency that runs that route that serves the woeful, ignominious bus stop in St. Louis.
It's important to note that Schmitt is careful not to lay the blame for this debacle squarely at the feet of Metro. According to Schmitt, "the lion’s share of the blame doesn’t lie with Metro, but with the public officials and agencies who have created such a far-flung, high-speed street network. Transit, walking, and amenities for bus passengers are afterthoughts."
