A contactless bus designed for the pandemic age

A new public transportation design concept aims to give passengers the confidence to take a bus ride by minimizing contact, using anti-microbial fabric and installing self-sanitizing handles. The “Futurebus,” designed by an international team that includes Northwestern University student Ryan Teo, alters the way passengers hop on and off the bus by combining all ingresses and egresses into a single large sliding door. This allows riders to flow in and out freely without contact.
