Thank you for all your lovely posts.
The union are onto things, but I guess like with NHS there is a lack of equipment.
I think I was more raging against people who think nothing of putting others at risk by going out on these nonsense errands. I get it, I know some people have to have something to do , so feel they need to go buying stuff to alleviate the boredom, but they don't even seem to be thinking about the situation, just think we are all 'On holiday'
As for the buses themselves, where we are, there is only one door at the front, so people have to be near to the cab, however the firm have now put a polythene screen up on part of that.
Yes, the company and drivers know that some people HAVE to pay by cash, that's accepted but yesterday nearly everyone wanted to pay like that with not much effort or thought going into paying contactless, phone, or pass. The travel is free for all pensioners now, so that alleviates them having to stand by the cab to blip their pass.
Thank you all for saying you think of transport workers and others as we all clap on Thursdays. It made me feel much better that lots of people do think about them and value them.
I am awaiting two boxes of disposable gloves and gel to arrive !!
Keep safe everyone and thanks.
