Introduction:

The name of these places indicates that both the buses and the stations themselves are in the tier of luxury items.  The same luxury motor-coaches used for the rest of Inisfree’s population are used here, the difference being that these carry only students of the city’s school, LHS.  In these bus stations you will find all the ‘top shelf’ amenities featured in the finest mansions and hotels; marble floors and counter-tops, walk-in stone-tile showers, heated toilet-seats and bidets, cafes with professional chefs, chromatherapy lighting effects, and even subtle incense bowl fragrances instead of cleaning chemicals.  Our bus stations are truly in a class all their own.

 

–

Locations:

Every ~quarter-mile along Inisfree’s highway system, you’ll find one of our bus stations (or, more accurately, a bus stop, not a full/enclosed station/building).  It may appear to be a grassy hill from one side, as we cover many of our buildings with landscaping, but if you walk around a bit… you’ll definitely spot one.  Our bus stations also correspond with entrances to many (hundreds) of our subway stations.

  • 2013:  none yet
  • ~2020:  first few dozen
  • 2022:  562 planned for Inisfree’s surface (including the current dozens); another will be added, based on demand/need, every ~40.5 Earth-years
  • none corresponding to the 208 deep-underground / restricted-access subway-stations
  • 40/+ planned for the Underway’s GAH-section
  • many of the remaining 168 bus stations will be for Sotu’s under-concavity section, as well as the Cliff-dwellings (1 through 3)

*There are no buses allowed in the Auz’dome, thus no bus-stations there; only personal vehicles are allowed to be taken inside, as that is what all the parking-spaces in that building/stadium are designed/sized for.

Dimensions & Layout:

Each of these facilities is mostly just the parking-lot for the buses.  Each station has one passengers-building on its highway-side, centered along that side of the station.  There are also AIOWs; 1 per non-highway-side corner (2 total), and 2 inside the passengers-building (thus 4 total per bus-station).

76,923 buses at-capacity, spread across 770 stations
(but some are always in use, so not all need to be housed at the same time; time-share bus-spots)

Each Bus:

  • ~45′ deep
  • ~8.5′ wide
  • ~10′ tall
  • (normal school-bus / motor-coach dimensions)

Parking-spaces:

  • ~50′ (each with a corresponding area behind it; to provide pull-in / back-out room)
  • ~15′ (without 5′ of landscaping on either side)
  • ~750 sq.ft. per space
  • ~75′ behind each space for backing out (shared by 2 (opposing) spaces)
  • ~1,875 sq.ft. for each area of 1 parking-space + 1 pull-in / back-out area

Stations:

  • every 1/4-mile along the GAH; 1,320′ between their centers
  • (~120 miles to the GAH means 480 of these bus-stations)
  • 76,923 buses / 770 stations = ~100 (99.9) buses per station
  • 100 buses x 750 sq.ft. = 75,000 sq.ft. just for the spaces
  • √75,000 = ~274′ x 274′; an area with 274′ per side (if the buses portal/hover to/from their parking-spaces)
  • HOWEVER, that does not include pull-in / back-out room between the parking-spaces.
  • 100 buses x 1,500 sq.ft. = 150,000 sq.ft.
  • √150,000 = ~388′ x 388′; an area with 388′ per side
  • 388’/15′ = ~25 parking-spaces side-to-side
  • 388’/100′ = ~4 parking-spaces front-to-back
  • 25×4 = 100, which is exactly the number of spaces we need at each bus-station
    (*See the design image below for actual spacing; the spaces are this same width, but not 100′ long.)
  • 388’/66′ = ~6 map-pixels on each of a bus-station’s 4 sides
  • 1,320′ – 388′ = 932′ of space between each bus-station (>14 map-pixels)

Passenger-building:

  • 1 per station
  • centered on the highway-side
  • 2 floors/stories (both indoors; roof is unused)
  • 2 33′-wide AIOWs; each halfway between the showers-room or toilets-room and a café (and both of these AIOWs go down to the shorter subway-station tunnels)
  • 4 double-doors; 2 per side of the lower floor (each door:  the Inisfreean standard L-shaped pull-down, here in a 4’W x 7’H space)
  • 1 toilets-room (in the middle of the lower floor); ~40′ x 40′, double-door on opposing sides (1 double-door on side facing the building’s front, and the other double-door on the side facing the building’s back), ~50 toilet-stalls (not BTBs), each stall:  ~3’W x 5’D
  • 1 showers-room (in the middle of the upper floor); ~40′ x 40′, double-door on opposing sides (1 double-door on side facing the building’s front, and the other double-door on the side facing the building’s back), ~30 shower-stalls, each stall:  ~5’W x 5’D
  • 4 cafes/eateries; 2 on either end of both levels (1 ICV as the manager, plus a few kajirae to handle the cooking and waitressing)
  • 66′ wide x 348′ “long” (deep); 22,968 sq.ft. per floor (total:  45,936 sq.ft.), thus allowing 20′ of space after either short-side (“end”) for the in/out lanes for the buses to/from the motor-pool (buses parking-lot)
  • café:  each has a ~66′ x 66′ total area (4,356 sq.ft.), mostly for seating (room/seats for ~150 eaters/patrons per; 600 total per building), with beverage/food-prep’ done near the end along the building’s short-side it is against
  • waiting-portion:  23,601.4 sq.ft. (building – AIOWs – cafés – showers-room – toilets-room); room for ~470 chairs-and-a-half, thus ~944 human-sized passengers/waiting-people

Corner AIOWs:

  • 2 total; 1 per bus-station parking-lot back-corner
  • 33′ diameter
  • centered on a plot/property corner; 16.5′ overlap
  • spiral (corkscrew) staircase
  • spiral (corkscrew) water-slide
  • climbing ropes
  • ladders side-by-side
  • 2 ‘lifts’ (elevators), also side-by-side (allowing simultaneous up and down traffic)
  • ziplines back and forth to connect each level in the AIOWs, always out of the way of the ‘lifts’

Features:

  • big flower-pot vehicle-barrier line along the curb/shoulder out front
  • wraparound 2-story window-wall (transparent metal, blast/shatter/wind-proof)
  • plant-pots on pedestals inside
  • all furniture:  chairs-and-a-half; easily/comfortably seating 2 human-sized guests per chair
  • ceiling-mounted wide-screens; on both floors and all 4 of each of their sides (8 total) always displaying route and schedule information (including local and destination weather) in multiple major languages
  • AIOWs in the passengers-building double as support-columns
  • AIOWs in the passengers-building have a glass-like (transparent-metal) outer surface
  • fresh towels always available in the toilets-room; for anyone who tried/used an AIOW water-slide
  • soft, soothing, tastefully-hushed/quiet music sometimes heard from the overhead corner speakers (played only when there are passengers coming to wait / in the building)
  • occasional soothing sexy song sung by a kajira, sometimes assisted (duet) by an ICV, sometimes with a musical instrument or two (acoustic guitar, for example)

Cafés:

We offer in these stations what is also available on the subway-trains they connect with;

  • chips
  • cookies
  • juices
  • muffins
  • pastries
  • quiches
  • sandwiches
  • teas
  • vegan meat/cheese alternatives
  • water

Access:

In cases where the adjacent highway-section is underground (i.e. in a tunnel just above Inisfree’s surface; ground-level), the bus-station has 2 AIOWs connecting to the surface; there will be 1 AIOW at both of its corners not touching the highway.  It is be these AIOWs that the subway-station below each bus-station is accessed.  These are the 33′-diameter AIOWs common in Inisfree’s mid-sized to larger (but not largest) buildings.

 

–

Schedule:

Buses in Inisfree, like our city’s shuttles and other vehicles, operate all day and night, every day of the year.  They are not on a set schedule, though; you won’t have to wait until a certain time for a bus to show up.  All our drivers are the Inisfreean girls; they can sense when a bus station has people approaching it for a ride, as well as where those people want to go, so they time when they drive to that station, arriving in perfect time.

 

–

Station Manners:

Inisfreeans politely make sure everyone knows that these bus stations are not for sleeping in; you won’t find any people camping out or resting here.  Each of our bus stations is kept empty (other than for actively-waiting passengers) and pristine.  Their atmospheres are ones of palatial serenity.

  • no sleeping in stations
  • no camping in stations
  • no lying on the floor
  • Wait only on a chair-and-a-half or standing.
  • Be silent unless quietly chatting with a friend or Inisfreean (ICV).
  • Flirting with ICVs and kajirae is fine and encouraged.  Just be quiet (hushed tones, respectful of others waiting) if you do.
  • Kissing and fucking ICVs and kajirae is fine and encouraged.  Again, just be respectfully quiet for others waiting in the station if you do engage with our staff that way.
  • Do not interrupt ICVs or kajirae from completing their work duties/tasks; wait your turn and they will get to you.
  • Place all (emptied/used) beverage/food containers and beverage/food waste in a recycling/trash bin.
  • Do not leave anything in any station.
  • Do not move furniture around or otherwise cause a mess or layout change.
  • Do not stand in the path of people using any door/s.
  • If someone is looking out a window, do not block their view.
  • no soliciting; always wait for an invitation to approach anyone (excepting, of course, ICVs and kajirae working here; you may approach them without them bidding you first)
  • no singing, playing, or otherwise making or performing music/song of any kind (which speakers, ICVs, or kajirae are here to provide, if requested)

You’ll often see people waiting in this station who have chosen to enjoy an ICV and/or kajirae; you’ll see kajirae and ICVs on their knees, pleasing them as they relax on a chair-and-a-half, or sitting on their laps and encouraging groping, or walking in to play in a shower or toilet stall for a little while.

You’ll also see people who have brought a kajira or two of their own with them as pets, and those girls will sit on the floor beside the chair-and-a-half their Master is using.  The general rule/practice/custom is that a girl with a slave-collar and leash on will stay on the floor until it is time for her to stand and follow her Master.  You may politely ask any Master for permission if you wish to pet his/her kajira/e.

Girls waiting to board one of our buses, like anywhere else they wish to be permitted entry, show their tits and pussy, as every female in our realm is perfectly sexy and loves soothing everyone around her with her beauty, rarely covering it up.

History:

At first, we only has bus-stops while Inisfree was being built.  Based on our increasing demand/request for more buses, we began upgrading those quarter-mile stops/intervals to proper bus stations.  By the 2020s, there was still only the first bus station we had built (right outside our high school), and at capacity (millennia in the future)… we had added several hundred more.

  1. 2013:  ~300,000 residents and guests; ~23,000/month ; ~5,800 attending at least one class at one of our schools, ~90% driving themselves; ~577 needing/wanting bus transportation; ~12 luxury-buses 3D-printed to accommodate those who wished to use our mass-transit instead of personal vehicles to those classes/places
  2. 2014:  ~600,000; ~46,000/month; ~11,500 attending our schools, ~1,150 using/needing a bus; ~23 luxury-buses
  3. 2015:  ~1,000,000; ~76,923/month; ~19,230 attending our schools, ~2,000 using/needing a bus; ~39 luxury-buses
  4. 2021:  This year, just because it felt like the right time, we added 1 bus station to each of our ~30 regions/neighborhoods.
  5. 2100:  ~5,000,000; ~385,000/month; ~96,000 attending our schools, ~9,600 using/needing a bus; ~192 luxury-buses (which all still fit in our first 2 luxury-bus motor-pools / stations, though we now have ~35 stations)
    [5-6 buses at each of our 35 stations so far; bus-station bus-parking lots 94-95% empty/unused]
  6. 3000:  ~90,000,000; ~6,900,000/month; ~1,700,000 attending our schools, ~173,000 using/needing a bus; ~3,462 luxury-buses (so it took ~1,000 Earth-years before Inisfree had as many buses as NYC had back in the early 2010s/2020s) –meaning we now have multiple/numerous bus stations (~40 stations)
  7. 23000:  ~2,000,000,000; ~154,000,000/month; ~38,500,000 attending our schools, ~3,850 using/needing a bus; ~76,923 luxury-buses (& ~770 stations / motor-pools for them, almost all of them underground, tastefully out of sight)

*770 bus stations, 1 every quarter-mile along the GAH = 192.5 highway miles in Inisfree lined with them.  Since the GAH has ~120 map-miles, the other 72.5 miles mentioned here mean there are bus-stations in the Underway now, as well as on the different levels of our downtown triple-decker highway system, plus our below-downtown (connecting the ‘ground-scrapers’ of the Under-concavity) triple-decker highway system.

 

High King Auz has ‘christened’ every station multiple times with multiple female students and other great girls.
