New bus shelters at four stops in Los Angeles are supposed to provide shade and safety to people waiting for the bus, but critics say it's not enough relief from the heat or enough room to protect all riders of public transportation.
The L.A. Department of Public Transportation unveiled four of the structures last week as part of a pilot program known as "La Sombrita." They're located in the following communities:- Panorama City/Van Nus, Saticoy Street and Kester Avenue.The structures are intended to provide shade during the day and light at night, but due to their size, many are saying it's not enough.
"There's a lot of kids that come around here and they wait for the bus, and I know they're already hot from P.E. and stuff like that. It needs to be definitely a lot bigger though," said Hydasha Mayo, another resident.
