Working on planes and trains presents hard physical constraints: tray tables range from 24 to 35 cm deep, power outlets are absent on most regional trains and economy flights, and noise environments are among the most demanding outside of construction sites. A transit-specific setup addresses each of these constraints with gear chosen for minimum footprint and maximum battery independence.
