Abstract:

These recommendations reflect accepted practice for design and construction of new rapid transit systems. The scope is limited to structures and fixed equipment applicable to structures, and emphasis is placed upon the environmental features which directly affect the safety and convenience of the transit patron. Topics covered include patron circulation and exits, security, fire protection, lighting, subway ventilation, acoustics, graphics, public telephones and communications, concessions, sanitary services, facilities for the physically handicapped, station finish materials, and waterproofing. A summary of applicable standards presently in use by rapid transit agencies is presented in the appendix.
