Digital Discussion - Sit, Stand, Lean, Hang

One of the most intriguing components of the New York City transportation system is the evolution of seating design in its subway cars, buses, and stations. During their commutes, riders are often faced with the choice to either sit, stand, lean, or hang on the poles. Quality seating design over the years has either made this an easy decision, or a tough one.  

Join Curator Kathleen Hulser for a digital discussion about the various iterations of seating design in the New York City transportation system. Discover the key decisions that contributed to the different configurations over the years, and future designs plans to increase comfort while maximizing space.
