Don’t Panic Just Yet
Given the current terror scenario across the world, it’s only natural instincts to get panicky if the lights blank out while traveling by the underground train. It could be a normal technical snag, but we fear the worst, and rightly so. Coaches are generally equipped with emergency lights, but something like the Emergency Handle Light can give the commuters a lot more confidence to deal with the situation. It’s the overhead handle re-designed to fit in a flashlight at the end. The handle easily comes off at the push of a button and the flashlights come to life only when the lights go out in the train.

not practical unless the metro system is easily blackout.
Also imagine during rush hour the torch will never be enough for the panic passengers, people will be in disorder.

I’m probably the only person on here who has actually has a tried and tested and implemented train handle design in my repertoire.
But that aside…
FREE TORCHES!
Juan says
Yes, something nice, but “FREE torches”
This design was designed without thinking the real use, just thinking in “utopia world”
Koreanblogger says
Good idea but easy to be stolen
DaLk says
not to mention that the square handle isn’t that comfortable for the normal (ie. hanged) use of this free torche
pea says
It would work if the conductor released the handle/torch—kind of like how the pilots release oxygen; the problem with that is it couldn’t be retro-fitted.
Howard says
might as well make the fare-cards into torches, since most commuters would have fare-cards.
