Public transportation in Miami is getting a stylish green makeover.

Outdoor advertising company Fuel is donating 600 bus shelters to the city, payed for by advertising and powered by the sun. The sleek looking structures will feature built-in benches for weary travelers, as well as an overhang to escape bad weather. The sun powered safety lighting and electric components will save 1,200 tons a year of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere.

Now all they need are some solar powered buses!
