Balls on sticks formed a festive work of art on both station platforms at the Geary Boulevard, and Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit stations. Evidently these sculptures light up at night, but I was unable to return there at night to photograph them.

A closer view of one of the balls at ground level on the Bus Rapid Transit station platform. Notice that the balls were assembled from two halves.

A closer view of one of the balls at the top of one of the sticks at the Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit Station. Notice how that ball was also composed of two halves.
