Weekly Challenge #126 - Public Transportation

The challenge explained:

I would like to suggest public transport in the broad sense, not only trains, buses, subways ..… but also airports, taxi's, school buses, stations, signs, passengers, ….. and so on.
For the city people, show us your diversity, and the country people, show us that one bus stop you've got. ;-)
Use your imagination and creativity.
