This is part two of two on “Getting Comfortable on the Train.”
On Wednesday I showed one of the common ways riders can violate the Golden Rule on a train. Is the rider always at fault though? Is public transit ever designed with the rider in mind?
What if the train seats were designed to facilitate the Golden Rule, encouraging comfort and consideration for your fellow riders?
What can public transit designers do to design seats and spaces which are comfortable for people? How can they reduce the impact of unanticipated positions like the fetus?
