standees
Crowded bus passengers
Standees are people who stand because no seats are available, typically on buses, trains, or in crowded venues: The subway car was packed with standees.
The word also refers to freestanding promotional displays—life-size cardboard cutouts of celebrities or characters used in movie theaters and retail stores: a standee of the latest superhero in the lobby.
