Edmonton Transit Service has installed germ-killing seats on approximately two-thirds of Edmonton’s LRT fleet.
According to the news release, a germ-killing additive has been incorporated directly into the seat plastic and can reduce up to 99.9 per cent of germs.
ETS says the seats funded by Public Transit Infrastructure Fund are expected to last the remaining life of the LRT cars will also be easier to clean and maintain.
ETS has also partnered with local biotechnology company, Outbreaker Solutions, to install germ-killing push-plates on entrance and exit manual swing doors at some LRT stations and transit centres. To date, push-plates have been installed entrance and exit manual swing doors at Bay/Enterprise, Central, University, Health Sciences/Jubilee and Southgate stations.
