I had never seen one of these before today. They’re great. Way better than reaching for a single pole in a crowded car and wrapping your hand around some stranger’s fingers. And If you have the whole thing to yourself you can hook your arm through it.
Well now how am I supposed to enjoy the sensation of someone else’s sweaty hand sliding down the pole to slowly touch mine while they remain oblivious of the entire situation?
We’re not oblivious ;)
On the other hand you can solidly grope all the bums because you have such a firm grip on the pole.
Wording.
Are we not doing “phrasing” anymore?
Same difference.
Yeah, they’re pretty common on newer train cars.
Also, obligatory San Francisco BART picture.
For a moment, I thought, this was one of those airplanes with which they do zero-gravity flights…
San Diego trolley has them as well
Okay I have a crazy radical idea that is going to disrupt the entire pole industry:
4-sided poles.
Now bodies touch each other instead of just hands.
I like how you think…
Don’t put your arm through it. Just don’t. OSHA does not approve putting your arm between metal bars on anything moving.
They’re common all over Europe.
These are pretty common where i live. You will be thankful to find a spot to hold on to on rush hour though.
I can still remember the awkward accidental grabbing of hands in a crowded public bus when I came back from school.
Neat, I like it.
Looks kinda expensive to fabricate (relative to a plain pole), though. I’d probably value-engineer it out if I were designing the train car, TBH.
bleah
Don’t you dare touch my hand!
what, nobody is going to mention that this is a stripper pole for my overweight mother?
We weren’t going to say anything out of politeness but now that you said it I’m comfortable telling we call her money bags because in the right light the dollar sign tattoos on her ass makes it look like she just robbed a bank.
Damnit, Son! Get off the Google box and go clean your room! I’ll be home when the lunch rush ends.
Also Dulles
Yeah I can see how that’s better than the old style. Which airport if you don’t mind me asking?
Seattle, on the tram between the main airport and the north satellite gates.
Here’s the thing, though, I know I’ve seen them, but I couldn’t tell you where to save my life. This is gonna be killing me forever now.
Definitely not Atlanta. Never been there.
Denver’s trams

They’re in the Atlanta airport, in the Marta trains within the airport, if you’ve flown through ATL before.
Bonus: You should be able to put a hook around the bottom to hold your bag/umbrella. Someone measure the diameter of the pole so we can start making 3D printed hooks for this purpose!

Or yourself!
This is how you get hooked on 3D printing 👍
Subway rider here. I will always have one arm through my bag handle. People often get stuff stolen on commuter trains in a lot of cities.
People yoink stuff and jump off the train right before the door closes.
