Smart mobility bus stop is an interactive urban landmark, which hosts a number of applications that allow a neighborhood to express its social, cultural, economical and political nature.

These applications provide the context for a variety of services (e.g., location based messaging, trip planning, etc.) and are grouped around a virtual urban botanical garden metaphor.

The project is commissioned by the French authorithy of public transit (RATP) for an exhibition to celebrate the 100th year of bus transportation in Paris.
