Hi I proposed the only supermarket so always frequented by people but it was rejected as the reason for the rejection was “Wayfarer Criteria”. If I remember correctly the shops are not prohibited.
Shops are not prohibited, but they must stand out from being basic businesses to be eligible. It is highly unlikely that a generic chain supermarket stands out enough to be eligible.
A supermarket is a pretty generic business; most towns and cities have them. Even if it’s popular with locals, the main purpose is to shop for groceries and other sundries; it’s not really a great place to be social, a great place to exercise, or a great place to explore.
And yes, Doro is a chain supermarket, and chain businesses are almost always seen as generic.
I have a further question. I would like to propose the public lift managed by the Genoa transport service (AMT), which is considered generic and therefore would not be suitable. Google Search
I think of it as a bus stop
Transit hubs are eligible, however, reviewing the company’s website and Google Maps photos, these do seem more like elevators, which I don’t see meeting any of the 3 main criteria: socialize, exercise, explore. An elevator, even if public, helps you get from different levels, and most aren’t sending much time in them.
A transit hub is typically a large station where multiple bus/transit lines stop at, and may also have a large area for people to meet up and socialize. Some even have restaurants/shops these days, as well as unique art.
