Public Transport Changes
Public transport should be reformed so that overcrowding cannot occur and people are safely seated at a distance. These reforms may take the form of:
- The return of compartments, or some way to separate groups of seating (e.g. screens);
- Mandatory advance booking on all trains (and possibly other forms of public transport);
- Laws to force employers to permit their employees greater flexibility to use public transport at times when demand is lower; and
- Greater use of technology to allow others to understand when public transport is likely to be quiet.
Why the contribution is important
Public transport which is overcrowded, in particular trains, presents a massive barrier to the lifting of restrictions. This is the setting in which people most frequently are situated close together with others from another household. We need to reduce the occurrence of this in order to slow (and eventually stop) the transmission of the virus.
