On Covid and Buses

If you rode around on German public buses in January of this year, and rode today....you'd obviously notice the 'gimmicks' arranged for the Covid-19 virus.  You'd also note....from city to city....region to region....state to state....that the gimmicks are all done in a slightly different manner to protect the driver from customer coughs.

ARD, public TV, Channel One, did a piece up on this episode.

Basically, the national TUV association folks (the inspection folks) have come up now to say that some of these 'inventions' are not really doing much to protect the drivers.

In some cases, because of the type of plexiglass used.....the driver can't even look to his right and see anything out of the doorway. In simple terms, it's unsafe.

So all of this analysis and criticism has led the TUV folks to write official guidance on protective barriers for public buses.  Release?  Well....not in October.  And to get the updates done?  It might be January before you see buses resolved on this Covid-matter.
