Hide AdReece said: "An Arriva bus just drove into the bus shelter on Boar Lane, all the glass had fallen onto waiting passengers. People were on board and at the bus stop.
"Luckily nobody was hurt."
Jennifer Holt, manager of nearby City Gent barbers, heard the smash and came out to clear up the glass.
She said: "I heard a smash as we had the salon door open.
"I went out and saw the bus stop, there was glass smashed all over the pavement.
"People were just walking through it and there's scaffolding nearby so I thought - it can't just be left there, if someone trips up there will be another injury!"
