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 in rush hour between 7-9 am and 4 pm on weekdays.
• Put on your face covering before boarding and keep it on during the journey.
• You are responsible for buying a face covering. 

Avoid traveling in the first place

Keeping a distance from each other is a more effective way to reduce the risk of covid-19 infection than wearing a face covering and being close to other people. Therefore, it is important that you follow our 3 most important recomendations when traveling on public transport.
