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
