Useful for homeless and portable at any hour for emergencies or a rotating schedule in any location with a hydrant. Would be advantageous over placing them in locations subject to staffing and monetary issues. City always has surplus buses .
This is awesome. First bus converted was Muni 2831. 2nd one I've seen was 2826 (Exx-ACT 2857). I know they have a 3rd one 2822, but I don't think it's been converted yet. They even got a 4th one 2844, but I found it at Metro Trans Bus missing some parts and it had a broken window.
An amazing service ! I am a retiree and I was thinking of mobile living quarters with showers and laundry services for th homeless . I live in Canada with extremely cold winters and what I learnt from the pandemic is that the homeless population moves though large cities . It was difficult for public health officials to control the spread and test the homeless population . It has been extremely hot this summer. Temperatures in excess of 40 C. I cycle 20 k each day and I thought of how a homeless person would feel without a shower or laundry . That is how I found this video .

@@worldbridgerone although your response was a year ago, would you still be willing to still help answer questions related to starting something like this in my community?
Jaclyn Smith hi! Yes.this is very within my skillset. Its so needed. First step for a city is to document the need. How many bathrooms and showers are available to homeless populations. I now work for a non profit that is focused on supporting the engineering for these types of community projects. I will bring your requeat to my board so we can figure out how to start dedicating resources to the project. I have access to a location in portland where we could do a bus retrofit.

What I'm seeing appears terribly inefficient; look no further than what the RV and pleasure boat community are doing in terms of design which they've gotten all figured out. If you can hook into outboard water and discharge, then there's no reason why a vehicle the size of a city bus can't accommodate at least 10 complete bathrooms; again, look to the RV community. While it's all nice to offer "pleasant accommodations", this is a situation that calls for more efficiency so more people can be served, and don't be misled by what might appear to be impossibly small - good designs can be small, functional, efficient, and luxurious all at the same time.
Indeed. Simple math - 4,000 showers become 20,000. Efficiency is needed, given the need of 1,000s of people on any given day, but at least this is a start.
Well it's way easier say than done, we live in an era where people like you can do it better from the comfort of their home over the phone but has 0 initiative to start an organization like hers, which includes go ask for funding, find like minded volunteers, apply for government permits, put aside your personal life to do care and take care about others. Good job mate people like you are the ones who change the world with your comments.
Love that Denise did this but waht does it cost and pay?? I know a trailer is cheaper than any bus. Miore can be placed in smaller footprints. How much per bus ??? Did Airco have a dfull fee and where are they Bay area is way more $$ to do anything, The hydrant supply is wonderful, but waht is use per day??
Every City Needs more Of These Vehicles. A Good Idea For A Mobile Campsite Business & Charity. You could also include other services in the vehicle. A Large Truck would be better.

4 shower and dressing room is enough and electrolysis system to evaporate waste water with about 5000 watt electrolysis waste water and solar heat for hot water supply
We should just give them free food and medicine and housing and money for heroin and......oh wait, we already do that! I’m glad they have a hot shower now too! Absolutely no incentive to work or help themselves. Good job you guys!
Dummy...The water that they drain is called GRAY WATER. And it's not going into THE SEWER..because the sewer is not open as shown..That is a rain drain that goes directly into the local body of water.sea..ocean river. The BLACK WATER goes into the sewer.
Part of the problem with doing this is building to various codes and ADA rules that make it both more expensive and larger than any bathroom in my own house. Doing this on a bus chassis should be using designs from the RV industry or locker room style where all enclosed areas are no more than 5 x 5 ft, instead of 10 x 8 ft. (8 ft is the width of a bus) BTW, I see similar design issues with low income housing where there are more "standard features" than similar sized private housing.
They're using the wrong type of bus. City busses have no storage bays underneath the floor. Get a retired greyhound and that entire mechanical room could be another shower. I bought mine fully running and driving for only $4k.
Amazing.....amazing how they have to pay for the water via a meter, that is disgraceful and a devil of a corporate council mindset. Council should be paying for all this and or have facilities for the homeless as it is their unlawful taxes on property that have forced many out of their homes. They have blood on their hands
Wonder Woman. God bless. Lazarus will be praying for you instead in Abraham's bosom, not the rich men in the Bay Area and even the whole USA who don't lift a finger to help people in need. The story of Lazarus and the Rich Man teaches that just for not helping the poor man in need like Lazarus is enough to send those who are able to help but didn't to the place of torment--where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, or the worms dieth not and the fire is not quenched!!! Great example. More power
the term 'third world contry' has come a long way,back in the days it referred to the nations that lacked an alliance with either the U.S. or the defuncted Soviet Union during the cold war.
Way to much tech! This video is all about what they did for themselves! Where are the videos showing the homeless use them??? That much money spent on blueprints and other unnesesary stuff could have built a permanent shower stall...
Ignorant Frank. Ignorant rest of you who write negative BS about helping these ostracized and stigmatized PEOPLE, yes, people, on the fringes of our society. Ignored, and often victims of terrible violence. Many of these people have psychiatric issues, ( untreated with simply not enough professionals who can or will treat them without being paid) and a government which does not actively pursue the problem of mental health disparity n this country. Many are newly homeless who simply lost their jobs and homes. Homeless people do not have access to transportation readily and if you were homeless would you want people videotaping you? Nice stigma on top of what they experience already. Try applying for a job or interacting with the public in anyway that could possibly improve your life circumstance being dirty and smelling terribly after days or weeks without a shower. Imagine how much that does for your self esteem and perpetuates the problem. Stop being ignorant and actually get involved if you have a problem with this kind of charitable work!
@sam lebon - That's *another* solution, indeed. It's perhaps less easily mobile than a bus, though. Good for a fixed location, or one accessible to a semi. Not all locations are.
Great job but, this entire thing is dripping with irony. You literally can't see the problem right in-front of your face. Virtue signaling is fun though....
In another video here in UA-cam, someone is making money from the homeless people to have a shower ! Greedy sons of the bitches ! George Wu, AIA, ARCHITECT, NCARB 2017-9-16
Instead of converting busses and paying designers why don’t they buy them. I just watched a video and the trailer had 8 private showers and a laundry room. Some are built for disaster relief.

We need something like this in Newark, New Jersey and New York City, there is a dire need for this.
Nice! The people need this. I am in the process of builing out my own shower trailer.
New York City Should do this with their retired Rapid Transit Series buses.
Useful for homeless and portable at any hour for emergencies or a rotating schedule in any location with a hydrant. Would be advantageous over placing them in locations subject to staffing and monetary issues. City always has surplus buses .

how do they power an in-line water heater for 2 showers on a bus? I'm assuming propane? That adds up quick

No don't take water from hydrant it is for anti tank. Use dehumidifier make water from the air and alow only 1 - 3 gallon per person per session
Wonderful idea! Beautiful!!👏🏻

Please let me know if you think this would work in Albuquerque, NM.
Yes it would.
Only 2 showers? Dumb design, complete waste of resources. I agree with giving gym memberships. When I was homeless, thats where I went.
Get people off the streets and give them dignity again by giving them work and an income.
Awesome idea. Maybe have portable healthcare and/or job placement kiosk outside
Great idea! Love this! 🫶🏾

Perhaps, but other gym members might not like that idea. And you send the showers to the homeless, the homeless should go to the gym.
