But he's describing it in visual terms: "the Helsinki bus station makes a cool backdrop for Magnum wannabes". Here, "cool backdrop" implies that a lot of photographers shoot it because it looks cool. But I get the sense from the article overall that he's thinking of the bus stop in purely metaphorical terms, so the language is confusing.

(And, the transit system pattern is not uncommon but also not quite universal either, so he went with the specific example he knew of from where he was from, I'm guessing.)
