Salesforce Transbay Transit Center San Francisco, California
Behind the curvature of a pearlescent lace-like awning, this multi-story San Francisco landmark transforms a commuter hub into an urban destination. With interiors open to the light, it's a sociable, open space for people to gather, topped by a leafy park where the sky is the roof. [from the website]

In architectural, construction, and real estate, floor area, floor space, or floorspace is the area (measured as square feet or square metres) taken up by a building or part of it. The ways of defining "floor area" depend on what factors of the building should or should not be included, such as external walls, internal walls, corridors, lift shafts, stairs, etc. Generally there are 3 major differences in measuring floor area.[from wikipedia]

A bus stop is a designated place where buses stop for passengers to get on and off the bus. The construction of bus stops tends to reflect the level of usage, where stops at busy locations may have shelters, seating, and possibly electronic passenger information systems; less busy stops may use a simple pole and flag to mark the location. Bus stops are, in some locations, clustered together into transport hubs allowing interchange between routes from nearby stops and with other public transport modes to maximize convenience.[from wikipedia]

In the United States, the first floor and ground floor are usually equivalent, being at ground level, and may also be called the "lobby" or "main floor" to indicate the entrance to the building. The story just above it is the second floor, and so on.[from wikipedia]

The bus deck has a dedicated highway ramp (consisting, in part, of a cable-stayed bridge) to the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge and an off-site bus storage facility under the western Bay Bridge approach. In order to allow buses with doors on the right to serve the central (island) platform on the bus deck, buses circulate clockwise (i.e., driving on the left) while inside the terminal.[from wikipedia]
