Innovative Antimicrobial Transportation Equipment & Components
The average human hand is covered in 150 different kinds of bacteria.
Four out of five germs that cause illness are spread by hands that touch every part of public transport and your family car, too.
Transportation companies work hard to keep passenger spaces clean, but it’s a big job. Studies consistently find high levels of bacteria and other microbes on public transit, shared bicycles & scooters, and even family cars.
Depending on the surface, microbes can linger anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks.
The Challenge: Public Transportation and Illness
Despite best efforts to disinfect them, transportation surfaces remain some of the least sanitary objects we encounter each day.
-
Studies have shown that commonly touched surfaces on public transportation had seven times more bacteria than a toothbrush holder and 12,000 times more bacteria than a public electric bike.
-
Two in five Americans use public transportation while they’re sick, and 60% of them don't sanitize surfaces after touching them.
The Transportation Industry’s Opportunity
While concern over transmission of illnesses continues to discourage some riders from using public transportation, the solution creates an important opportunity for the transportation industry. Consider the following:
-
Sources of disease transmission on public transportation, like grab rails, gear sticks, control centers and steering wheels are areas of continuous bacterial contamination.
-
In London, half of commuters would pay more to travel to work with assurances of hygienic and cleanly surfaces
