dc.description.abstract	Many people in Bangladesh who could afford use private vehicles to avoid uncomfortable ride on public vehicles. It causes a huge congestion during the rush hours. To ensure a pleasant journey in public transportation, safe and comfortable handgrips can be a vital thing. This research aims to address the issues of discomfort and hand fatigue experienced by commuters while using public transport in the country. The design process includes an analysis of the current hand grips used in public transport in Bangladesh, as well as research on ergonomic principles and hand anatomy. Computer-aided design and simulation tools were used to optimize the design and ensure its functionality. There are a few designs available but none of them used the local anthropometric data of Bangladesh. This study focuses on using of Bangladeshi anthropometric values with ergonomic principals. The ergonomic hand grip designed in this study addresses the specific needs of commuters in Bangladesh, and can be easily implemented in the public transport system.	en_US
