Bus Vannin 'committed' to passenger and driver safety

Measures in place to continue bus service for essential travel

Bus Vannin says it remains ‘committed’ to the safety of its passengers and staff. 

It’s after a number of drivers tested positive for Covid-19 – although it won't confirm how many.

Unite the Union claims half of the workforce is in self-isolation.

In a statement released this afternoon Bus Vannin says measures are in place so that a bus service, for essential travel, can continue to be provided.

These include an enhanced cleaning regime, screens to separate the driver from the passengers and a separate air supply in the driver’s cab.

Drivers also keep the same bus for their whole shift meaning some passengers have to change bus on through journeys.
