Keep your distance to stay as safe as possible public transport
The current guidance from the Welsh Government is to stay at home and only leave home if your journey is essential.
Public transport should only be used for limited purposes which include:
- to go to work if you can’t work at home.
- to go to school, college or for education
- for essential shopping or medical needs
- to provide essential care
- to escape a risk of illness or injury, such as for victims or people at risk of domestic abuse

Please do not leave home and travel at all if you have any Coronavirus symptoms.
You can check the Welsh Government’s guidance here.
Please think carefully about:
- the journeys you make
- the people you meet
- travelling to areas where coronavirus rates are high
If you do still need to use public transport for essential journeys, please help us keep the network as safe as possible by following our Travel Safer guidance.
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
