Like do they just guesstimate where they’d see the most use?

    Do they change the placement because a business “bribed” (i mean lobbied) for them to not to put a bus stop near them as they don’t want to see the poors near them? Yes!

      Or in the case of my city, they built a bus stop in the massive parking lot between Walmart and Sam’s Club for the opposite reason!

      I’m sure it was added for both employees and customers.

          A store is a business…

          While I don’t doubt that there are places in the US that try to keep bus stops from being near businesses for the same reasons they have hostile architecture, it doesn’t seem universal at all. Touristy areas have bus stops near businesses that want tourists for example.

            What I mean a business that is not a store. Think investment bank or importer B2B business or a highend appointment only boutiques
