seisontaajan
Seisontaajan is a Finnish term that translates to "standee" or "stanchion" in English, referring to a support or upright pole used in various contexts. Primarily, it is associated with its use in public transportation, particularly on buses and trams. In this setting, a seisontaajan is a vertical pole that passengers can hold onto for stability while standing. These poles are crucial for passenger safety, especially during sudden stops or accelerations. They are typically made of metal and strategically placed throughout the vehicle's cabin to provide accessible handholds for all standing passengers.
Beyond public transport, the concept of a seisontaajan can extend to other areas where support is needed.
