PENALTY: Those without face coverings can be barred from trams or fined METROLINK bosses have been urged to hand out more fines to people not wearing face coverings instead of ‘babysitting’ passengers by handing masks out. Face coverings have been mandatory on public transport since June as part of measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19. But councillors are still receiving complaints about tram users ignoring the rules. Face mask compliance now averages 86 per cent at the morning peak and 81 per cent in the evening peak. Last summer only 70 and 60 per cent of people respectively had face coverings for morning and evening peaks.
