COVID cases are increasing daily, but the Department of Transport says public transportation operators, including drivers and conductors along with travelling commuters are not adhering to the Regulations.

A release says "Bus drivers, conductors and passengers are not wearing their masks when travelling in the buses, or in some instances, they are not properly worn. It has also been reported that in some instances sanitization of hands or of the buses is not being done."

And now the department of Transport is turning to commuters for help. They are asking the public to report on any of the infractions such as commuters, drivers and conductors not wearing masks, buses not properly sanitized, persons not doing proper handwashing prior to boarding a bus, and lack of social distancing.

The public can make reports to the Department of Transport via WhatsApp at 610-8163 and 626-2658. The DOT requests that the numbers be used specifically to report incidents related to COVID-19 and the safety of the commuting public.
