About Us

The Coronavirus has changed the way people interact with objects. The confidence in our public health standards are at an all-time low. We just cannot leave it up to others to look out for our health. Globally, the coronavirus has adversely affected many people’s lives as everyone scrambled to adjust, to find new and safe ways to travel. New ways to function practically, in a constantly changing world.

New York City adapted. Subways now shut down at 1am and reopen at 5am for sanitizing of the trains for the first time ever in the storied history of our public transit system. A very practical recourse, but one that ultimately falls a bit short. Nonstop activity in trains makes it near impossible for trains/buses to be sanitized properly around the clock, especially in the middle of rush hour when it seems NOTHING can slow down enough to be sanitized properly and effectively.

The pandemic has also raised AWARENESS for all of us, to find ways to protect ourselves from future outbreaks. Now, we are coming up with new innovative ways to function safely, and put the power back in our hands when it comes to our personal health and safety.

Our Company

We are QUNY (short for Queens Unlimited New York), a Jackson Heights company with a simple vision to change the way we commute. Our goal, is to provide a clean and safe option for a more enjoyable experience using public transportation. Whether commuting to and from work, to getting around our great city.. one should always have peace of mind while doing so.
In the past, straphangers were part of the commuter experience. While they were previously provided on public transportation, they were removed from subway cars and buses many years ago. But whether it is the rails, the straphanger, the hand poles, or hand holds, we are always obligated to touch these safety devices to maintain balance and stability. There is NO avoiding these handholds, lest you be flung around the train at the instance of sudden movement. These public handholds are not sufficiently sanitized. It’s just not possible. The Commuter (Safety) Strap is a portable and machine washable solution for mass transportation users who want to take their own safety, and securely place it into their own hands. The Commuter (Safety) Strap can be used to avoid touching the safety rails of public vehicles. Now, the user no longer has to hold un-sanitized metal handrails while riding or standing in public subway cars or buses.

Never Touch a Handrail Again

We encourage everyone to stay safe while commuting and we hope you find our product of interest.
