I regularly see on Social Media that people are complaining about specific passengers, or groups of passengers, not wearing face coverings on public transport. You never know how this stacks up to the reality, as people are always quicker to complain than praise, so I was wondering how wide spread are people finding this in reality?
Do you feel it is a barrier to returning to regular public transport use (if you haven't already)?

One thing I've noticed from a number of operators now in response, is a claim that they *cannot* enforce the wearing of face coverings. I'm wondering why they think this, as the guidelines available from the Government, titled 'Safer Transport Guidance for Operators', seems to state otherwise.



This regulation is clear that operators do have the powers of enforcement, but also points out that they're not obliged to use those powers. So this isn't a case of *cannot* - it's a case of *will not*
