A safe distance on Bangkok buses

By THE NATION

 

 

Every other seat on Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) buses is now marked “Social distancing – do not sit here” in a bid to stem the spread of Covid-19.

 

Bench seats normally occupied by two passengers are reserved for just one, on the window side.

 

 

Signs also instruct standing passengers to keep at least one metre away from the next person standing. Conductors on buses full to this limited capacity tell anyone waiting at the next stop to keep waiting for the next bus. Passengers are asked to wear a facemask both aboard the buses and while waiting for one.

Ticket conductors really should be wearing latex gloves and occassionally wipe them with antiseptic gel.

Then there is the issue of surfaces touched by passengers without gloves.

Nothing like that on the 2 buses I took this morning. Just normal seating & standing.

Neither the driver nor fare-collector bothered about the odd passenger getting on without a face mask.

 

One of the buses was a BMTA bus, the other a franchisee.
