    Hi,

    I am just wondering how would private bus service providers survive after COVID19.

    Will there be lesser traffic in buses due to work from home is working out well for many or due to social distancing measures?
    Will there be more buses with limited capacity per bus and hence increase in bus tickets?

    Will there be people traveling more by personal vehicle rather than taking bus?

    Any thoughts / opinions?

    Commercial operators won't abide to social distancing. I suspect they would probably be more likely to mandate passengers wear masks and conduct temperature checks like airlines are doing. A bus company and a lot of businesses full stop can't make money full stop if social distancing is going to be in place.

    The health experts are going to have to understand that in order for society to function people are going from time to time to have to get up close and personal to each other from time to time. Now this can be minimised for sure but there will be times whereby it will be unavoidable.
