Face coverings in public transport

How it works

• Wear a face covering if you were born in 2004 or earlier. This means if you're 16 years old or older.
• Wear a face covering no matter what time of day you travel.
• Put on your face covering before boarding and keep it on during the journey.
• You are responsible for buying a face covering.
