Hamburg bus stop

Quoting a note in its entirety, from the June 11, 2008 edition of
Nature magazine:

" 'We're planning on redesigning the bus stop in a 1960s look.'

Sabine Grünwald of the Mühlenau retirement home in Hamburg, Germany,
ponders how to improve the fake bus stop they installed outside the
facility last year. Patients with dementia who wander off tend to
collect at the stop, where they can be collected by staff. A bus never
actually comes."
