You make it sound like it's going into someone's back pocket.

I was only waiting for “brown envelop” and “corruption” and I would’ve had a full house on this conspiracist bingo card.

It's a much more inviting place that feels safer, especially with a security guard on hand. I'm sure the people of North Shields will appreciate the same thing.

I know I was to surprised to find such negative comments about the new bus station when I came to this thread.
In comparison to the on street shelters the town had before, this is much better, and within reaching distance of the Metro which is exactly what we should be striving towards: a once-again integrated public transportation network.
