Presumably they now mean the 1m+ rule? Capacities on buses are increasing from Monday, at least for First & Stagecoach. For First it'll be around 17 on a single, 33ish for a double, depending on seating layout/bus model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruby Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I really hope that windows are kept open on buses for maximum ventilation. A lot of fuss is being made about social distancing and masks but as soon as people start crowding into poorly ventilated INDOOR spaces Covid has the perfect conditions to start spreading again.

I had to nip out yesterday to get food supplies and I opened windows on the bus i was on as there were none open. Someone then complained they were cold. Windows should be kept open...

melthebell Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Ours are now 21 people, that's 1 per seat, not really distanced. Not like before with 11 on, 1 per seat then an empty seat in front and behind. At least i can catch it though, being near the end of the route, it went sailing past last sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people don’t leave the windows open when autumn comes and buses will be busier with all kids back at school and more people travelling into work, watch this space for a second spike.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
