The impression I get is that they dont care or understand. Also its not a real union, I believe its T&G or whatever name they are going by this week. Just a heads up to potential passengers more then anything. Edited June 25, 2020 by busdriver1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to those concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unite is one of the unions I see as a comedy union with outdated views and aspirations above their station. Being completely honest if the staff are daft enough to drive them like that and play their part in not enforcing social distancing . . . . . . . . . To be fair, you are not allowed to sit behind the driver but are welcome to contaminate other passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen17 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I repeat - MANDATORY. Bus companies/drivers look up the meaning. It does not mean suggested or advised or if you can be bothered or if you feel like it, it means MANDATORY. If i am on a bus and someone gets on without a mask I will be asking for an explanation from the driver. i can see many arguments ensuing let alone virus being transmitted.

But it’s not mandatory to wear a mask. Only a face covering. And there are exceptions for people to not wear those either. Maybe leave it up to the drivers and British Transport Police to challenge patrons. Edited June 25, 2020 by nikki-red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the drivers have no power to enforce the rule, but they will ask for proof that anyone not wearing a face covering is exempt.

catmiss Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I’ll be exempt from wearing a face covering when I’m free to use public transport on 1st August. How do I prove it- just go to First website, download and print the exemption certificate, anyone can do it !!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drivers are NOT challenging and have been told not to even ask passengers if they have one, 18 hours ago, catmiss said: I’ll be exempt from wearing a face covering when I’m free to use public transport on 1st August.

I have been asked by someone to help them do this although there is no medical reason to not wear one. Obviously I refused to help.
