About the New "Wave" Shelters

Muni's Seismic Wave Transit Shelter

Muni’s new “Seismic Wave” Transit Shelter may well be the most sustainable shelter under the sun. Form and function combine with green technology to create a compelling, iconic structure designed to meet the aesthetic and environmental needs of a City at the forefront of new age technology.

Green features:

  • Wave-shaped plastic canopy composed of 40 percent post-industrial recycled content.
  • Galvanized steel beams created with 60 to 70 percent reclaimed product.
  • Solar-powered photovoltaic cells can generate up to 100 watts of electricity — enough to power high efficiency fluorescent backlit information panels, super efficient rooftop lighting and NextBus and Push to Talk technologies.
  • Up to 40 percent of all energy captured on the solar-powered model can be recycled back into the power grid.

Other features:

  • Shelter lengths vary from 8 to 16 feet with ergonomically designed seats for up to six customers.
  • Steel support columns vary in length to accommodate San Francisco’s hilly terrain.
  • Open back panel creates improved accessibility.
