Public Transport
Design and planning approaches to public transportation systems, infrastructure, and the commuter experience.
Public transport design encompasses infrastructure, user experience, and community integration. Designers working in this space address mobility challenges, accessibility, and the role of transit systems in shaping urban life.
The community explores transit hubs and stations, bus stop redesign, seating solutions for commuters, and how public transport connects localities and regions. Projects range from modular comfort products to large-scale multi-modal transit planning and cultural interventions within transport spaces.

Koban is a police box system in Japan that has been generally regarded as a neighborhood policing model. By adding social programs and improving its functionalities, the project proposes a new design for a bus stop that would cure the entrenched systematic issues with crime, transportation connectivity, and serving as an alternative to traditional authoritarian police stations in the United States.
