As the Covid-19 outbreak continues, may I humbly suggest – to allay public transport health concerns – that some of the buses, coaches and taxis made redundant by this crisis be commandeered (and sanitised) by the Government, then used to move NHS and other key workers to and from their places of work?
That would obviate the need to use public transport. Better still, why not commandeer hotels and other large buildings within walking distance of major hospitals and health centres to provide temporary makeshift accommodation for said workers? Then they wouldn’t have to travel far at all.
Meanwhile, if working hours were staggered, then workers who can’t work from home but who still need to use public transport would not all be travelling at the same time.
