This thesis aims to understand what effects do our public spaces have on the minds of the people and how does one experience the physical setting of these environments. With the aim of understanding sociability of transit stations/ transit hubs, this thesis carefully analyses people’s emotions with respect to waiting at the stations along with what impacts do architectural, urban and environmental features of these spaces have on one’s mind. This study lists five most popular transit stations across each New York City (USA) and Mumbai (India), and intends to conclude by presenting solutions in order to create a better waiting experience and a happier- user friendly environment at transit stations.
