Those who have been to Germany know that there are bus stops from which it is impossible to leave.
And these are not abandoned stops, they are installed specifically.
Such stops are always properly equipped and marked with an appropriate sign.
We explain why fake bus stops are installed in Germany.
Why do Germans need fake bus stops?
In Germany, fake bus stops are set up in certain places: near nursing homes, mental health clinics, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers.
In this way, German authorities are trying to take care of elderly people suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other mental disorders.
Seeing a bus stop, a lost person with mental disabilities may decide to wait for a bus.
This gives the institution's staff the opportunity to find the person and return him to the care of doctors and family.
