"HOGWARTS School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Chengdu!" "This is not just a broom, it's a private vehicle. Harry Potter is here!"
Recently, someone tweeted that a broom was used as a signpost at a bus stop on the Second Ring Road in Chengdu. The microblog immediately drew heated discussion, www.scol.com.cn reported.
As the original booth was taken down to make room for construction, a worker improvised with a broom to show the bus stop name. Many passengers said they gathered around the broom to wait for buses. Some complained about the neglect of the Chengdu Bus Company because other bus stops on the road also lacked proper signs.
They said some signposts had already fallen to the ground and some signboards were attached to nearby walls or bridge handrails.
In response to online criticism, the bus company said it has sent workers to repair bus stop signposts and other facilities.
