While people are being urged to avoid using public transport where possible, and instead try to walk, cycle, or drive, the advice sets out a series of measures passengers should take if must travel by underground, bus, train or taxi. The Department for Transport has published guidance on how to stay safe while travelling This is because travel may take longer than normal on some routes due to reduced capacity and social distancing measures. Wear a face covering The guidance acknowledges that there are some circumstances when wearing a face covering may be beneficial as a precautionary measure, including when you need to use public transport. In these instances, it states that passengers should avoid any physical contact, try to face in the opposite direction from other people and keep the time you spend near others as short as possible.
