I personally don't see how they can say public transport is for essential travel only, yet still allow pubs to remain open. Surely there's a higher chance of catching COVID at a pub than their is getting the bus
Public transport is a key part of the confidence of getting our people into the office. We can have as many one way systems or distanced desks as we like to build confidence but if they aren’t comfortable using transport it knocks it back. Can’t say I blame them. I’ve fully abandoned the bus and metro for the car.
On pubs, no. I’d say public transport is more dangerous. Higher use rate, absolutely zero enforcement of masks and minimal social distancing. I feel way more comfortable at my socially distanced local (now with table service) than I do on a bus or metro with no controls in a confined space, I’d guess the only people on public transport right now are ones who have no other choice (or balmy enthusiasts)
