The goal of this paper is to show development and research as well as building and testing a of novel UV-C disinfection device prototype for small surfaces in public transportation. Device prototype has been successfully developed and tested on S. aureus and E. coli bacteria and could be modified to suite various other applications in public spaces. After testing, there is still room for improvement and authors have given their fair thoughts of how to achieve better results.
