The nation’s commuter buses are being filled to capacity with passengers, and the government should intervene with gasoline assistance to bus drivers in order to have reduced riders on account of Covid-19.
The call came from the Chief Health Inspector Sharon Martin during an appearance yesterday on Observer Radio’s Voice of the People.
Martin, who is one of Observer’s Persons of the Year for 2020, said bus drivers are allowing too many passengers on their buses, with scant regard for social distancing, and this is a potential stumbling block in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus.
