Drivers on here have said they don't want the confrontation, but let's be real, if you don't like confrontation, then maybe a public facing job isn't right for you!
The business aspect is also obviously a decision, they're quite happy to enforce the rule about passengers paying to board, but enforce the law to wear a mask, nah, that's too much!
Even as someone who is medically exempt from wearing a mask, I still try and wear one as much as possible. If I'm on a double decker and I'm sat by myself upstairs, I'll take it off, but if someone comes up I'll put it back on. Unless it's too humid then I can barely breathe without the mask!
Wasn't it more to do with kicking someone off the bus who has medical reasons and the legal implications behind it such as a court case and a criminal offense against the driver rather than an argument.
I wouldn't want to go there personally.
