Bus Stop By S. Shibata

The number of passengers on local bus routes at bus stops as addressed in this photo book has been in decline since the peak year of 1968. This is due to an increase in individual car ownership, an aging society with fewer children, lower populations in rural areas, and lifestyle changes. Japanese photographer Shuichiro Shibata (1963) has travelled all over Japan to picture the bus stops in black and white photographs.
