1. Glasses or HUD that calculates and shows you the quickest path to follow to get to work in real time. Pedestrian traffic can be miserable during rush hours.
2. Personal space bubble -fold out capsule that creates space around you to help deal with crowded trains/buses, body odor, and that one guy that keep falling asleep on your shoulder in the morning.
3. Sleep straps – a harness with straps that latches onto the poles inside a bus or train to allow you to sleep standing up without falling.
4. Light-weight folding lap desk with built in coffee mug/cup depression so you can read, write, draw, or even have breakfast like a good corporate mongoloid and still enjoy your coffee without having to put it on the floor.
5. Device charger that uses your body heat and movement to produce and store electricity for charging your phone or tablet.
1) A guerilla campaign to attach GPS trackers to every train in the MTA, so that we can finally have real time travel updates.
2) Still promoting my door blockers idea – Print a set of “congratulations, you’re an asshole” cards, and hand them to people blocking train doors as you head out.
3) An app that let’s you sell your bus or train seat to another passenger. What I wouldn’t pay for a seat on a hungover day.
4) A device that detects people talking over a certain volume. Once they are detected, a robot hand comes out of the wall and slaps them in the face.
5) Proximity readers at the turnstyles. I want to be able to tap my phone instead of ever using a metro card again.
6) USB chargers built into the seats.
1. Each bus stop holds a sensor that counts each human being standing at the platform. Buses come as scheduled but can deploy extra bus if que is larger than average.
2. Each train has a sensor that determines if there is enough space for another passenger on the train. If that cart has available space. A light comes on on top of the cart doors. Signaling others to head to it. Great for running late.
3. When a train stops a metal platform slowly pushes forward when the doors open, forcing one blocking the doors to gtfo the way.
4. Your phone tracks your train usage , if ANY delays. Your phone sends you a notification like an amber alert. (Imo, amber alert is usless. Let me hop out of bed at 3 am to find gladys’s retard daughter that snuck out that night).
5. In Japan when a train is late, the train conductor comes around an x apologises and gives written acknowledgement tha they where to cause of lateness. Fuck the appology.
When traina get stuck or have delays for over 5 minutes. A dispenser under each seat and atop of the railings in the carts dispenses a late note.
