Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Public Transport
Mr. Jim Waldron:
No, it has not. On screens, for example, we have a ridiculous situation where drivers are installing screens in their cars, going up for the suitability test and having to remove the screens to get the car passed, then driving away and reinstalling them. We have no guidelines other than very vague ones. They are telling drivers that screens can only be installed by the manufacturers of the cars to the standard of the original installation of the car. It is not acceptable. Regarding masks, there has been no advice given. We have been advised that we can refuse people sitting in the front seat of the car and ask them to sit in the back, but that is the only advice we have. We feel let down by the NTA in this.
