What is now a four-block hole in the ground will soon give rise to a five-level multimodal transit mecca with striking wave-like walls. With the recent arrival of structural steel and crews working hard on bus ramps this fall, the impending transformation is becoming all the more evident.
When it opens in 2017, the Transbay Transit Center extending south of Mission from Second Street to Beale Street in San Francisco will house 11 different transit systems, a smattering of shops and restaurants, and a large rooftop park.
