The Department is working with operators to ensure people feel safe when using public transport. Operators have already enhanced their cleaning regimes at stations and on-board services. We are asking people to plan their journeys so that they travel at less busy times where they can, and we have created a check list for safer travel. The Department mandates the wearing of face coverings on public transport and in transport hubs and compliance remains high. We will continue to work with operators to ensure service levels are high as we begin to ease restrictions so people can keep a safe distance where possible.
