Public Art Bus Station
From an outsider's perspective, this bus transfer station is indeed very imaginative.

Artist Dennis Oppenheim created Ventura's award-winning (but also hated) bus transfer station in 2002. The twisting and arching perforated steel sculpture abstractly shows a bus turning into a house. Fans of the arts adore its whimsy, while those who actually use the structure gripe that it's completely inadequate to shield bus customers in rainy weather.
The 36-foot-tall public art sculpture is located outside the north end of the Pacific View mall on Telegraph Road.
