Physical distancing measures on public transport

Physical distancing on public transport across Wales include.

limiting the number of passengers allowed on buses and trains at one time
introducing one-way queuing systems at stations
using clear physical distancing markings
encouraging customers to use contactless payments or buy tickets online or at ticket machines

Please keep your distance

Please stay apart from others wherever possible on public transport.

Please wear a face covering and try to:
•   avoid physical contact
•    face away from other people
•   keep the time you spend near other people as short as possible

Wear a face covering

You must wear a face covering on public transport, at stations, on platforms, in waiting rooms and in train station car parks to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus to other travellers and staff unless you’re exempt. Face coverings are mandatory where physical distancing can be difficult to achieve such as on public transport.

Please bring a face covering with you and put it on before:

going into a train station car park
going into a station
going onto a platform
using a waiting room
getting on your bus or train

Children under the age of 11, people with breathing difficulties or people with a physical or mental illness or impairment or disability don’t have to wear a face covering. Children over the age of 11 must wear a face covering unless they’re disabled or suffer from breathing difficulties.

The Welsh government's full list of exceptions can be found here.
