Almost sounds like as much fun as playing games on your smart phone except that you have to hang out at a bus shelter. Great way to pass the day for workers and students alike. Take a look at this worker cleaning the bus shelter and students so wrapped up in the competition missing their bus. If this becomes a thing of the future there will be a lot of people losing their jobs and a lot of late slips being handed out at schools. These touch screens are scheduled to be removed by the end of January but if this campaign was as successful as believed it would be you'll be seeing a lot more of these game screens popping up around the world. What a great advertising tool and leave it to Yahoo to come up with such a great idea. Target audience - young people such as high school students who love playing video games. How much would the video game giants pay for this type of advertising? Lets just say the sky is the limit with this one.

Yahoo Installs Bus Stop Video Games
No more boring moments waiting for your bus to come. Yahoo has decided to install giant touch screen video games in twenty bus shelters in San Francisco so people waiting for the bus can play against people at other bus shelters while they wait. Players have a choice of four mini games, single or multiplayer and results are updated in real time allowing neighborhoods to see how they are doing against cross city rivals. The neighborhood with the best score wins a block party some time in February with the band OK Go to perform.
