From BuzzFeed Books:
VHH, a bus company in Hamburg, Germany, decided to install shelves in some of their buses so that passengers can easily borrow books during their ride.
. . . .
All passengers have to do is pick a book they like, and start reading. If they don’t finish their book during their bus ride, they can take it home and either bring it back to the bus or mail it to the store that provides the books.
VHH started “Buchhaltestellen,” which means “book stop” in 2010 as a collaboration with second-hand department store Stilbruch. Over the past seven years, Stilbruch has provided almost one million books for the 150 buses that feature the shelves.

A few years back I ate at a nice restaurant in Raleigh. The walls were mostly bookshelves. Browse, pick a book to read, take it home if you wanted; you could bring it back, or not, or a different book; they didn’t care.
And when the driver hits a big pothole you can get buried in your reading. 😉
Great opportunity to try a new book. Just grab a new one out of the air when it flies by!
