Halacha Brurah 110:11, Ishei Yisrael 50:2, Kitzur S"A 68:4. [[Tefillah]] KeHilchata 27:27 rule similarly. </ref> | # If one is on a bus or train (or public transportation) and one is able to stand to say Tefillat HaDerech one should do so, otherwise one may say it seated. <Ref> In Gemara [[Brachot]] 30a Rav Sheshet says that one may say it walking while Rav Chisda says one should say it only standing.
