Growing up, the main bus in my town was every 10 minutes and always packed. I didn't worry about timetables I just left the house and knew it would be there. Now it's every half hour and completely deserted. This is no coincidence. Fund buses properly and people will use them.
@anon_opin I don't use buses any more. I qualify for a bus pass now but haven't bothered to collect one. How could I be sure that nobody on the bus has covid?
@TimWardCam
If we could get the transport companies to put a clearly visible CO2 monitor on the bus (and set a reasonable target to stay below), and then convince ~90% of humans to actually give a damn about themselves and others by wearing a mask on the bus, that would be a good enough solution for me, but that also seems to be completely unattainable 😭
