Claire and Jacobi's Pee-Sensitive Enclosure
Feel free to breath freely!1)
Not only is our enclosure practical - adapting to the elements, city geography, and occupancy - it seeks to meet one of the primary needs of Bay Area transit agencies - the need to eliminate the stigmas attached to public transportation. Our enclosure incorporates a San Francisco-themed cable car shaped porthole to allow users to enjoy city views and features decorative trim that is adjustable for different neighborhoods, giving the enclosure a custom and modern architectural feel. The enclosure's design is based on modern curves and Calatrava-inspired sweeps, making the bus stop a stylish place to be.
