Over the past couple of days....Transporation Ministers from the sixteen German states have been discussing the idea of more stringent ban rules (bringing the 1.5 meter social distance into reality on buses and trains). Basically, it's impossible.
I'll use my local village as an example. From 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM....around eight buses will pass through....heading off to Wiesbaden to drop off workers, and school-kids.
These are 80-passenger buses...capable of handling 100 passengers (if some are standing). I would suggest that at least half the buses will reach the level of some folks standing, and it's awful crowded.
Introducing the social distance rule? How?
You'd have to add at least five more buses in this time slot and they simply don't have the buses or drivers.
You'd have to have some idiot standing there.....a seating-guard....to enforce the 1.5 meter distance rule.
On trains? How? Most of the early morning trains (7 AM to 8 AM) out of Wiesbaden for Frankfurt? Crammed full, with folks standing already.
This discussion is mostly to the ridiculous stage.....with people chatting on something that they themselves never use. I don't think any of these idiots ride a daily bus to work, or hop on a train for a 30-minute trip to Frankfurt.
But this is how far we've wandered into this whole ban rule discussion.
