Another update on the Covid 19 pandemic, we have spoken with the employer on numerous items including blocking off the seats behind the operators on the novas, back door entry, free bus rides and bringing in more supplies.

The employer has agreed to start roping off the seats behind the operators starting today, back door entry is being contemplated still, free rides will more than likely go along with that as there is no way to enforce fares once we start loading through the back doors.

We had discussions with the employer today in regard to Covid 19 virus and many of our concerns. We discussed closing off the front seat around the operator, loading from the back door, the possibility of free rides, education of the public in regard to social distancing and hovering the bus pass when entering the bus, as well we spoke of the close contact Access Operators have when loading and unloading clients.
