BC Transit campaign encourages riders to don masks

Picture

A new campaign encouraging bus riders to wear masks has been launched by BC Transit. Called Together We Ride, the campaign will run for eight weeks and includes a contest starting July 27 with prizes including BC Transit branded masks and shoes.
 
While the provincial health officer has not mandated wearing masks, BC Transit is hoping the practice will be adopted as good etiquette by riders.
 
BC Transit buses already adhere to a number of safety conditions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
