I'd like to see you tell a toned 40 year old bloke or a group of 5 chavs who have no interest to wear a mask, actively saying he's / they're not wearing a mask to either put one on or get off the bus with the police having no interest in solving the issue as it's petty at best.

That's the position some driver's would end up being in. It's all good saying stuff like that behind a keyboard but it's different in the real world.

(Don't mean to be rude there but it's the point 2 drivers have told you and you ignored it)

My issue isn't with the drivers, my issue is that it's company policy that drivers aren't allowed to refuse travel to someone for not wearing a face covering. I get that drivers may not want to interfere, and that's fine, but if a driver does, they're not allowed.

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. 


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?

I would imagine one of the questions contact tracers ask is if they've used public transport, if a number of people respond that they'd used the X21 on a certain day then it could be concluded that is where the outbreak occurred. Then I would assume they'd want to check who else was on board, and if in that situation they find out it's company policy to not make passengers comply then I would expect something to happen
