BC Transit, in alignment with TransLink and other transportation agencies, will be proceeding with mandatory use of face coverings on buses in BC Transit communities across the province beginning tomorrow (Aug 24).
Accommodations will be permitted for children under the age of 5 and those that cannot wear a face covering for health reasons.
Customers will be expected to supply their own face covering.
“We recognize the advice from health professionals, including Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, has been to wear face coverings when physical distancing is not possible including on transit vehicles,” said Spokesperson Jonathon Dyck.
“Customers have indicated making the use of face coverings mandatory will create a more comfortable environment.”
While face coverings will be mandatory, the policy will be implemented as an educational step without enforcement.
