One problem to public seating is that it can often be very unclean and unhygienic as many different people use them and consistent maintenance is not always provided to public seating

Another problem to public seating is that it is often overcrowded with too many people

One more problem to public seating is that it can be very uncomfortable for the user to sit on for long periods of time. This can gretly affect the user expirence for seating in public transports and is a very common issue.

A problem for public seating is that often it is not as durable as it should be for the enviroment it is in. This results into the seat not lasting very long and being damaged very easily.

One example of public seating which can be very unclean and unhygienic is public seating in public transport such as the metro or bus.

One alternative to solve this problem would be to provide more maintenance to clean seating in public transport

Another solution to improve the cleanliness of public seating in places like the metro would be to provide more seats for people so that they do not depend on holding on to a pole on the metro that is very unclean and has been touched by everybody.

This is especially a problem for elderly or disabled people who often require seating more than others. This problem may leave elderly people standing which could be a very hard thing for them to do

This is also particularly a problem in places like public transport where is is often crowded and seating make it harder to fit more people

One possible solution to this would be to add more public seating dedicated to priortize elderly and disabled people to always be able to have the seating they require.

A common solution for this problem is to use retractable or foldable seats meaning that the users can retract the seats very compactly when they are not in use in order to make more space for people to fit into public transport.

This can be solved by producing the seating in public transport with higher quality materials which would be much more comfortable for the target audience.

This can often happen due to weather, people or other things making the public seating last for a shorter amount of time.

One example of where this would happen could be on a public bench in a park where the weather may very a lot from rain to sun to snow.. Often this kind of bench in not properly made to endure these conditions and after very little time they are in very bad condition.

This can be solved by making sure the materials used to make make public seating is chosen accordingly to the enviroment is is being put to endure in
