If you must leave your home for any reason – wear a face mask or face-covering, practice social/physical distancing, sanitize your hands or wash them regular with soap.

    Omnibus operators are reminded to adhere to the protocols that are in place for drivers, conductors and passengers. These includes; being fully vaccinated or being in possession of a negative COVID-19 test result, wearing of facemasks, carrying the number of passengers that is legally acceptable.

    All commuters are advised to drive with due care and attention and with consideration for other road users. Do not consume too much alcohol that may blur your vision and impede your judgement and control of your motor vehicle.
