Translink makes this announcement today:
TransLink will require passengers to wear non-medical masks or face coverings while onboard transit vehicles, as of Aug. 24.
The decision is meant to help prevent the transmission of COVID-19 as physical distancing is not always possible on transit.
People with underlying health conditions or disabilities, as well as children under five years old will be exempt.
“Physical distancing is not always going to be possible on transit, particularly once more riders return to the system,” TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond says of the new policy.
