Chat stops are bus and streetcar stops, which are equipped with interactive video technology. Thus communication between waiting people at different bus stops is made possible. If one likes to, one can start a "video conference" with somewhere else waiting people. The subjective safety feeling is increased, and by means of communication with other humans boredom of waiting can be overcome by nice conversations . Video communication instead of video surveillance, voluntarily and transparent, but at the same time entertaining.
