Coronavirus: Distancing on public transport limits capacity

From Morning Report, 8:22 am on 12 May 2020

Thousands of people will return to work and school over the coming weeks.

But with physical distancing requirements in place, the capacity of trains and buses will be drastically limited.

In Wellington, buses will be able to carry forty percent of the usual number of seated passengers, and only thirty percent on trains.

Councillor Roger Blakeley is the chair of the Greater Wellington Regional Council's Transport Committee.
