I’m not sure if that’s a direct quote or not but I’m not planning on using buses any time soon for this precise reason. The impression I get from the managing directors Facebook Lives, passenger comments on social media and reports on here don’t instil me with any confidence that it’s safe.
People not wearing masks because drivers don’t challenge and social distancing hard to enforce. It’s the same reason I’m doing click and collect and not going into supermarkets or if I do need the shops I go off peak. I’m not particularly vulnerable but I don’t want to pass it on to family or older relatives.
I also don’t buy this “it’s not shop staff or bus drivers to police masks or social distancing ”. That’s like saying it’s not a barman/barmaid’s job to challenge 25 on alcohol sales, it’s a part of the job!
