Abstract:
The recent pandemic has highlighted just how essential public transport is
to the communities around the world. With the current public transport
designs, we are very much exposed to anthroponotic diseases and time has
come for us to survive like this. My aim is to design a product which can be
adapted to a new normal while attempting to design a bus with appeal and
safe travel experience while beingsustainable. The design will have features
that promote the use of public transport and present it in a positive light.
Along with this it serves to create awareness about personal boundaries
and hygiene. It will be comfortable enough for the users, and will come
with a flexible sitting arrangement, making it feasible for both situations,
pandemic, and non-pandemic. The product will encourage the human
interaction but with the precautions and safety measures keeping them in
the safe zone. The user touch points will be reduced.
