Grand River Transit is free until June 1st in Waterloo Region.
At that time, people will be required to board the bus by the front doors again to pay their fares. As if #COVID19 will magically be gone because we said so.
Although GRT suggests riders wear masks, when I took transit the other day, I was in the tiny minority of mask wearers.
Right now, drivers are somewhat protected from passengers by distance, and none that I’ve seen are wearing masks. Drivers should be wearing masks *now* to encourage regular riders to wear them June 1st.
