Recharge While You Wait

mito_01

When you’re on the move, the solar-powered Mito is a multifunctional street object designed to give you a place to park and charge! Designed as an attractive addition (made almost entirely of wood) to public transport stops, it allows passengers to charge their phones and access the internet while waiting.

The first Mito station is currently located at Taksim Square in downtown Istanbul (near a tram stop, next to Tünel station). Mito stations will soon appear in other cities as well. Each will be equipped with power ports for charging up to 8 devices, a wireless internet signal, and even a built-in LCD screen that displays the station and route name, bus or tram arrival times and current air temperature.
