Another way of putting it, one which I've brought up quite a few times is that they'd have no issue enforcing the requirement that passengers pay for their ticket, but asking them to wear a face covering is too much. I get that they can't verify the fact that people are exempt, but they could at least say "Do you have a face covering?" or "You should really be wearing a mask". But from my experience, that just doesn't happen.
I personally don't feel unsafe on the bus, compared to going to places like the MetroCentre or ALDI. Whilst cleanliness standards on board buses has dropped considerably since the beginning of the lockdown, likely due to them carrying more than twice as many passengers, at least they appear to be trying in that regard!
It also probably helps that I'm not petrified of catching COVID like a lot of people are. If I get it I get it, nowt I can really do short of staying in the house for the rest of my life. At some point you have to just 'get over it' and realise it's going to be sticking around for a while and you just have to get on with life!
We need to stop looking at the mortality rate, and start looking at the survival rate.
I can't remember the exact wording, but I've noticed the nsa's mention increased or additional cleaning.
Assuming the vehicle is out from noon until night, I'm unsure when this increased or additional cleaning is actually taking place.
Does the X1 get a scrub down at Easington Lane? (I've yet to see it happen at Eldon Square).
