Precisely. Any suggestion that operators are piling on extra people to bring in extra revenue is ridiculous: there is currently a government support package which covers the “lost revenue” due to the smaller volume of passengers travelling.
You’re right to suggest it’s purely a safeguarding issue, as it always is (even pre-COVID where operators would allow free travel if a child doesn’t have enough money to travel and appears vulnerable).
That said I do agree with the points about social distancing and wish local authorities could do more to procure extra vehicles and schools could do more to change the hours they run.
