Abstract
Abstract A portable handle has a hook at one end for attachment over a public transportation vehicle rail that is grasped diametrically opposite the bight in the hook by an element at the end of a shaft screwably supported in the hook element so that rotation of the handle allows the assembly to be tightened against or unloosened from the rail and provide the user with a convenient handle to grasp while standing in a public transportation vehicle.
