Configurable Transit Seating and Methods
Need:
Human transit systems strive to meet the varying demands of the passengers they must accommodate. Passengers can be shorter, average, or taller in stature. Passengers can be wider, average, or narrower in girth. Passengers can desire to stand or sit or recline.

Unfortunately, the typical passenger seating systems and methods cannot effectively meet these varying demands of the passengers and the transit system operators.
