Bus stop?

Sometimes we get the bus home from swimming if one is about to come. This is where the bus stops. There used to be a pole with a bus stop sign attached to it, then they took it away and for the last few weeks there has been nothing in this space. This week we found there was a new pole but no sign. We waited there at the pole and the bus went straight past us without stopping. One minute later another bus came past and stopped for us.
