Self-Sanitizing Transit Handgrips

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Cyclean Bus Handle is Constantly Cleansed Between Contact

— November 14, 2013 — Autos
Some public transit takers find themselves making compromises between stability and sanitation, where support posts and handgrips are concerned. The Cyclean Bus Handle ensures that riders will not have to sacrifice either, providing them with a hygienic component to hold onto.

The contraption comprises two main parts that work together effectively. The most obvious bit is the graspable strap and the other is the chamber of rollers that suspends beneath the ceiling of the coach or train carriage. Inside of this, Zhou Shen, Qiu Zhen, Li Jiyang, Liu Tao and Zeng Jiayu intend there to be a sponge to scrub and a cleaning agent. The idea is that, between uses, the Cyclean Bus Handle will feed through the system to be good as new for the next person.
