This story is so crazy it's probably true. The people running a nursing home in Germany have been having problems with their alzheimers patients, who keep forgetting they no longer have homes to go to and keep wandering off - putting up a fake bust stop at the gate.
According to the story in The Telegraph:
"They know the green and yellow bus sign and remember that waiting there means they will go home."Oh those wacky Krauts.
The result is that errant patients now wait for their trip home at the bus stop, before quickly forgetting why they were there in the first place.
"We will approach them and say that the bus is coming later and invite them in for a coffee," said Richard Neureither, Benrath's director. "Five minutes later they have completely forgotten they wanted to leave."

I've heard of senior centers that have elevator operators. When the door opens on say, the 8th floor, the guy reminds whoever lives on that floor that this is there stop.
While it's chulrish to make mock of other people's sepllnig mistakes or grammatical errors, I do find 'bust stop' to be most amusing.
Please do not change this typo - we all know what you mean, but somehow the goof is superior.
It is Freudian.
