ABSTRACT:
A cup holder designed to be attached to a transit bus fare collection box, for use by a transit bus driver to retain beverage containers in a predetermined position. The invention includes an attachment member designed to engage the fare collection box. A shelf member is connected to the attachment member and extends outward in its operative position to provide a substantially horizontal surface upon which a bus driver can place beverage containers, and other items. The shelf member is preferably provided with apertures or indentations designed to receive the beverage containers and secure the containers in position on the shelf member. In the preferred embodiment, the attachment member is provided in the form of a frame member that engages the fare collection box, and the shelf member is pivotally attached to the frame member such that the shelf member may be folded to an upward or downward position to lie against the fare collection box when the cup holder is not in use.
