Probably the Deco Bus Stop: https://www.daz3d.com/deco-bus-stop
It's cheep and has plenty of add ons to customise it with.
Came here expecting a rendering of a bus stop with The Case inside, perhaps accidentally left behind. Or maybe not so accidentally?
...I like the functional brutalistic style of the Soviet Bus Stop.
My favorite is Bus Shelter because of its organic shape, and I like the concrete. The parts are bones instead of parented props, but you can change out everything you don't want.
The above mentioned bus stops are great, but there is the commone https://www.daz3d.com/city-bus-stop and https://www.daz3d.com/urban-bus-stop which give cover and proliferate our cities as they are cheap and are easy to cover with graffitti. And in can be crunched by monster garbage trucks backing into them.
But if you don't have a proper bus stop, grab a street sign saying bus stop, patch of mud, rocks, or broken concrete, trash, weeds, with no cover and there you go. Bus Stop where a city doesn't care for its citizens. Denver has a number of them scattered around in certain sections and real fancy ones in the upscale sections.
...the ones we have here in downtown Portland are pretty much useless as form apparently won out over function (however, they did win an asthetic award from some transit association magazine). During the winter the nastiest wind and rain here is from the south yet the "vestigal" windbreak is on the north side of the shelter..
Here is what the downtown ones used to look like:
Oh, and graffitti isn'tthe only issue. Smashed glass panels are an ongoing issue here both at bus and tram stops. When that happens the entire shelter is taped off so you have to stand outside (not fun in 20 mph wihds and icy cold rain during winter).
Another part of why I like the Soviet Bus Stop, Not "pretty" looking, but vandals need a jackhammer to damage it and any grafitti is easy to remove or just paint over.,
