Masks will soon be mandatory on Metro Vancouver transit

TransLink announced the new policy on Thursday morning, days after provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said she would "encourage" a mandatory mask rule on buses and SkyTrain.

CEO Kevin Desmond said he hopes the requirement will make people feel more comfortable returning to the transit system, where "physical distancing is not always going to be possible." "Customer confidence is key to rebuilding ridership in the context of this pandemic and we believe this step is important to bring many of our riders back. We’ve listened to transit users who want to see face coverings made mandatory on transit vehicles," Desmond said in a news release.

Masks will be mandatory beginning on Aug. 24, TransLink said, but there will be exceptions for young children, first responders and people who can't wear them for health reasons.

Everyone riding transit until the 24th is screwed.

Wish I had a pic but a guy at work the other day had a mask on that was so dirty it looked like he had wiped his ass with it. Felt bad and made him change it, they are free for employees and we have thousands.

Bad idea.

Months too late, better late than never I guess

Soon? They all drinking hand sanitizer?

Nothing like closing the barn door after the horse has left!

I hope people are going to wear masks on their asses in order to prevent the spread of their virus-laden farts on transit.

Perhaps one of these would be appropriate

Should be now.

Should have been mandatory long ago

Here they come with praise and thanks MasksAreMuzzles

🤦‍♀️

Until we flatten the curve right?

No enforcement so it not mandatory

The social engineers who fabricated this whole thing absolutely KNEW that we would be bickering among ourselves about mask use while the Federal Reserve initiates the New World Order Monetary reset. This entire magic show is designed to divert our attention. Period.

Unless you are exempt.

And the sheep rejoiced!
