Grab Handle
In urban public transport, provision is made for standing passengers, often called straphangers[ or standees,[5] to rationalize operation and to provide extra capacity during rush hour.
Various types of handholds are provided for standing passengers:
hanging strap – a strap suspended from the ceiling (often with a handle or a loop)
grab handle – a pivoted, rigidly-mounted, or suspended handle often mounted above eye level of standing passengers
handrails – rigid rails running horizontally below the ceiling
stanchions – vertical poles anchored between the floor and ceiling
grab rails or grab bars – smaller hand rails attached to seats, doors, and doorways
