The Solution


.

The solution that we are suggesting is to take advantage of the technology around us already to solve this problem. One being Beacon technology. With beacon technology we will be able to send passengers notifications on their phones telling them how far the bus or train is as well as the capacity of the bus or train. With this piece of technology implanted in the MTA passengers will know if they should skip a bus because it is not safe for social distancing. Another piece of technology that can be used is temperture/thermal detection. With this technology we can measure passengers temperture and determine if they are safe enough to board. There could be a camarea at the front of the bus or train that shows the driver every passenger boarding as well as there temperture. The driver can use this camera to see if passgengers are wearing a mask. The MTA can also set up hand sanitizer dispensers everywhere for passengers to use. By having all of these things added to public transportation this will make passengers feel more protected and safe while riding.
