Hi, Need to answer some question of mine. wanted to nominate wayspot for my area and just wondering does a bustop counts as a nomination? because it is consider a community bus stop. oh! another one there is a sign stating the whole park area does it consider a nomination I’m refering the sign from wayfarer example
is there anyone can help?
Wayfarer gives an example of “famous transit stations”as a great place for being social. A regular bus stop by itself wouldn’t really qualify to me.
If the second one is a sign for the park, it could meet criteria but I don’t know enough about the area, feel free to elaborate on how you think it meets the criteria

I am guessing generic one is hard to approve. So it will be case by case basis.
Your photo seems generic to me

Regular bus stops don’t qualify as they are pretty indistinct in many places around the world. They may look different, but the provide a service, telling people who take the bus where they can get on and off of it.
Park signs can be used as the place marker in a main photo for all of the park or different entrances into the park, if it’s large. The park I live closest to has 2 entrances, north and south, and there are Wayspots for each of the entrance signs. If there is already a Wayspot for the park though and this is the only entrance, you could submit a new photo to that showing the park sign.

well according to the government the 2nd sign is to represent the name of the whole park. in the area where I based at the housing area is called a park as well “taman” means “park” so the sign here is to represent the whole entire section of a park. the playground area is a small community park that is part of this whole entire park. complicated but that’s how it works in the place where I based in. “thanks for the feedback appreciated it alot <3<3<3”.

Continuing the discussion from Does a bus stop sign and a park sign can be consider as a wayspot nomination:
well this is hard cause we do have bus stops but it’s not as unique as other country has. but the bus stop sign is usually where all of the residence go and wait for the bus. it is a famous transit for us but it does look generic. hence, why I want to ask about before I nominating it. “thank you for sharing an info!”

The transit stations are listed under the eligibility being a great place to socialize. It is understood that this eligibility criteria would be where one chooses to socialize in or a designated place where one can do social activities. Happenstance socialization is less relevant towards this eligibility, where one happens to socialize because of another matter (i.e. waiting for the bus, doing paperwork, etc.).
Among other merits, a famous transit station can be a hub where one does socialize before departing/after arrival with travelling peers. I do not see this for this particular bus stop, there aren’t even seats.
oh okay! so to clarify
this is an ideal bus stop to nominate? am I getting warmer about this? sry for asking a lot of question I do wan to nominate a wayspot for the game I play. But just wanted to do it the right way…
My comment on the presence of seats was to show that the other bus stop does not even have accomodations to wait for the bus with some comfort. The presence of seats does not necessarily mean it is eligible as a great place for socialization.
Circling back to the first paragraph of the above comment,
I highlight the distinction between happenstance socialization and specifically chosen socialization spaces.
okay, I do understand now. it should be a plce to socialise rather than a place to wait for accomodation unless it is a place that provide comfort for people to wait for accomodation for a good example airport or terminal bus station where you have to wait for 2 to 3 hours for the bus to arrive for your travel. so far do I have the right idea about it.
like the picture for example terminal bus station is a good place to nominate wayspot where alot of people would gather in a place where theres comfort, restaurant, and cafe’s for the locals to wait for their accomodations?
hehe I think I got it! correct me if i’m wrong. and plus it does help me to understand better when I’m also reviewing other poeple nomoination/contributions. 
and also if there are others who would wan to try to nominate first time and no idea how I could provide good information or the idea of the correct to nominate if they have any concern.
I don’t think this is a good reason towards eligibility.
Getting close. Again, I highlight that social places that are chosen rather than because it happened to be there are preferred. Given that some transit hubs are akin to Shopping Plazas , it may be presented as such though.
There may also be other perspectives and merits for transit hubs. In which case, it must also be told preferably with verifiable evidence. The common way to present these is to highlight activities or events directly related towards the three eligibility criteria.
I think I understand the concept of it. much appreciated thank you! thanks for your help!
