Honestly, my biggest worry about is making someone with a hidden disability have to disclose something they'd rather not with a random bus driver. Most people are compliant however. (At least when we're looking)
I made a similar point a week or two back.
Barely above minimum wage, but having the responsibility of a vehicle carrying x number of passengers. To then potentially face the challenge of a disability discrimination claim thrown at you...
No thanks.

If them choosing not to enforce it (when they have the right to) causes people to die from COVID then I think they should be held responsible.
So it's against the law? Which law is this? How would you prove that you caught coronavirus on the bus and not off someone leaning over you at asda?
