"A BrickScore of 53.7 reflects the expert consensus: the Bus Station is a visually presentable but functionally compromised set where an inaccessible bus interior, a poorly executed wheelchair ramp, and a high $49.99 price tag undermine what could have been a solid city essential, and the 79% would-recommend rate from LEGO.com buyers suggests informed buyers notice these gaps even when Amazon gifting reviews look warmer."
Expert reviewers and LEGO.com's own buyer signals tell a noticeably divided story for the Bus Station: the Brickset review scored it 68 and recommended waiting for a sale, cataloging serious design flaws in the bus interior access, the wheelchair ramp execution, and the minimal newsstand and bus stop structures, while casual buyer reviews on Amazon averaged a much warmer 4.7 out of 5. The BrickScore of 53.7 places it firmly in Skip It territory, driven by low marks for value for money (39.9), playability (42.3), and build experience (45). LEGO.com's own value-for-money signal at 3.41 out of 5 and a would-recommend rate of only 79% reflect real buyer hesitation that the Amazon aggregate glosses over. The minifigure lineup (wheelchair user, cyclist, newsstand attendant, and others) is the set's strongest asset.
Where they split: The critic-versus-owner split here is notable. Amazon buyers average 4.7 out of 5 (mostly parents happy with a city bus for kids), but LEGO.com buyers, who self-select as more informed fans, rate value at only 3.41 out of 5, and only 79% would recommend it. The Brickset expert review echoes the informed-buyer skepticism, listing structural design failures that casual gifting satisfaction scores miss entirely.

"it's not really a bus station is it it's a bus set that also comes with a bus stop and plenty of people"
Owners appreciate the inclusive design and city-building value, but many find the set overpriced for limited play features, with the bus roof's poor accessibility being a major frustration.
