Remember the story about the buses that would be turned into giant showers for homeless people? No?
Well, it’s happening, you guys. SFist has the details:
“Lava Mae, the San Francisco startup that has converted a Muni bus into showers for the homeless, is ready to roll out their first mobile washroom in the Mission starting on June 28 … For the first phase, Lava Mae’s shower bus will work with the Mission Neighborhood Resource Center and will be parked on Capp Street between 16th and 17th Street from 7 a.m. until noon. The converted bus currently has two private “hygiene pods” (read: bathrooms) that include a shower, sink, toilet and a changing room. To keep things moving, users must sign up ahead of time to schedule their timed, 10-minute showers.”
We’re glad to see these out-of-commish buses being used for something other than landfill. (Though sometimes that can be purty.)
What are some other potential uses for decommissioned Muni buses you can think of?
