Bus Stop Derby was a very creative stunt / campaign for Yahoo that took place in San Francisco in December 2010 and January 2011.
An interactive bus stop with a 72-inch touch screen was put in each of 20 San Francisco neighbourhoods. People would play as they waited for their bus; the neighbourhood with the highest score at the end of the campaign won a concert to OK Go in their neighbourhood.
(North Beach won, then Tenderloin, then Mission)
Full info here. Very smart stuff! It's not gaming for it's own sake, it's providing a genuine benefit to commuters in terms of enjoyment and entertainment. I'd love to hear from anyone who played; do you miss it?
