Commenting on the move to make face coverings a requirement again on all public transport, London TravelWatch Director, Emma Gibson commented: ‘As MPs prepare to vote on the tightening of Covid restrictions later today, it is worth noting that research shows that other people wearing face coverings is a key factor in making people feel safe about travelling on buses, trains and the Tube. The number of people wearing a face covering on public transport has dropped significantly over the past few months. Making them a requirement on all public transport again will be reassuring for many people but it will have to be properly enforced to give out the signal that the rules have changed.’
