At the Dublin Bus depot in Ringsend, Dublin
Martin Wall, in The Irish Times, reports:
A transport union wants capacity on buses and trains to be significantly reduced to provide more space between passengers during the coronavirus outbreak.
The National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) said there should be a major scaling back on the numbers permitted to travel on individual buses and trains to keep in line with “social distancing” recommendations put forward by public health experts.
HSE advice in respect of the outbreak is that people should “maintain social distancing, ie leave at least 1m (3ft) distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing”.
