Damn

Click here to read the story and see the video.

I haven't seen anyone as blatant as the woman described in this story, but I've seen plenty of passengers who demonstrate complete ignorance of or disregard for social distancing guidelines (despite ample new signage in the buses re: same), and it frightens and angers me.

  1. Not to be mean dear Rimpy...but if I see anyone not implementing social distancing or covering coughs near me....will be read and checked...what part of this do they not understand? I saw this story and thought of you. Very sad someone dies because of someone else's laziness and ignorance.

    1. Today I was riding my local light rail (as a passenger, but in uniform, as I was on my way home), when a trio of homeless people boarded without masks and sat down, having walked right past the dispenser of free masks, which just happened to be located next to the door they entered by. I asked them if they wouldn't mind availing themselves of some masks. One lady said, "Is it a law?", to which I replied, "It's a requirement" (which sadly lacks any consequences for non-compliance). She then said, "Well, if it's not a law, I'm not going to do it." There was nothing I could do, so I just said, "Okay, fine" and let it go.

  2. It beggars belief. I'm grateful I can stay home and not use public transport. Very, very grateful.
    Stay as safe as you can, Rimpy.

    1. Thanks, Scarlet. I'm as careful as I can be for my own protection, but even in my capacity as "captain of the ship", I have no real authority to enforce the "requirement" of masks for passengers.

  3. People STILL aren't taking it seriously. And yes, as he said, it's a VIOLATION.

    I haven't taken a bus since the first week of March and even then, I was on pins and needles hoping I wouldn't contract anything. It was the only way I could get to a medical appointment that I needed to go to.

    I rely on buses to get me around but I'm staying off them until a vaccine is available. Unfortunately, bus drivers don't have that luxury of choice.
