Seating System in Indian Public Transport

ABSTRACT

Public transportation is a crucial part of our everyday lives, also, moving from one place to another is fraught with problems. The number of people using public transportation has increased, increasing transportation demand among the general population. Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is difficult for people to travel around the city without fear of contracting the disease;in this situation, people always wish for a better hygiene system and a low infection rate in the city. As a result, the primary goal of the study is to research and develop a viewpoint on the public transportation seating system, that is relevant to the Indian setting and attitude of following rules and regulations. Many things have been tried in the past to ensure the safety of travelers, and they have not proven as beneficial as they should be after following COVID-19 recommendations. The goal is to enhance the comfort and safety of passengers as well as give people easy access to the public transportation that is most widely used, like auto-rickshaws and buses. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
