It is not possible to eradicate the risk of exposure to coronavirus if you use public transport. Travel operators are doing what they can but users can help too by:
- Wearing a face covering or mask (new ruling on 23 September - this is now mandatory)
- Trying not to touch buttons or door handles more than necessary – ask the driver if you require help
- Using hand sanitiser/washing your hands before and after travelling
- Trying not to touch your face
- Loading your own bags into the vehicle but allowing the driver to open the boot.
- Remembering to maintain social distancing while outside the vehicle
- Pay using contactless card or pre-paying through an app
