Public transport is the biggest barrier getting people back to our offices tbh, we’re looking at February at the earliest now for a return. All my peers are saying the same thing tho we’re seeing small pockets of childcare issues too, public transport remains our biggest issue.
We’ve had 4 positive tests within our operational team of 60 and all of them are public transport users. Now there’s no suggestion at all that’s where they caught it but once it gets around WhatsApp and Yammer that they are non car users that’s it. Guilt by association and when you see local press running with mask less metro passenger stories and twitter and Facebook posts about buses, it’s no surprise we can’t build confidence and it’s hard to see what anyone can do.
Let’s be honest if you used a bus and everyone socially distanced and wore a mask you ain’t gonna post on twitter about it, the opposite you would.
And if I’m brutally honest if my team asked would I use a bus or metro at the moment, my answer would be no.
