Hypothesis
The New York City is one of the place it has high floating population and the transportation is important for people to flow from point A to point B, which means also apply to other countries. It may depends on the Cultural background but there are difference between people’s behavior how they use public transportations.
Although MTA NYC Transit does put up a lots of informing about how people should be behave in subways, it mostly seems scatter in subways, and it doesn’t give direct influence to the subway riders that’s why we always bump into people or squeeze through by people when we get on/off the train.

Rhee - you mentioned in class that you are mostly interested in these behaviors because you suspect they impact safety; this seems like a great departure point, so make sure you do some research to back up that assumption and do the photographic journal of subway behaviors that we talked about (in addition to the tool-making /testing exercise)
Rhee, I agree with Jennifer that you have the kernel of an idea here, but now you need to do substantial research in the field to learn more about passenger habits in the subways. There are significant product opportunities for innovative way-finding interventions in public transit settings, and this would be an excellent topic for your thesis investigation. Let me know if I can be of help as you put together your research plans.
