This pRticular stop is problematic, at the best of times, often with 3 buses arriving at once. Arguably, it needs to be 2 bus stops but that would take a bit of planning and cost a fair bit. This, hopefully temporary solution isn't universally popular, though, as roads are back to almost normal levels of busyness.

Just in time for social distancing to be reduced to 1M. Don't think I've ever been compelled to get within 1M of anyone at a bus stop of any type. What a waste of time.

There were a lot of people who either weren't wearing the mask properly (ie. not covering the nose), took it off once they sat down, or pulled it down whenever they spoke, totally defeating the point of wearing one.
Meanwhile First Potteries have gone full bore on the mask front:
