coverings in crowded settings, such as busy trains and buses. london s mayor, sadiq khan, has asked transport for london to make it a condition of carriage, meaning if passengers travel on any of its services, including buses and tubes, they must wear a mask, even after monday. tfl will be the first operator to do this, although manchester s mayor, andy burnham, hasn t ruled out doing the same on the city s tram network. the scottish government has also said it will continue to require facemasks on public transport. on the issue of mandating mitigations like face coverings, let me just say this. it is my view that if government believes measures like this matter, and this government does, we should say so. we should do what is necessary to ensure compliance and we should be prepared to take any resulting flak from those who disagree. we shouldn t lift important restrictions to make our lives easier and then expect the public to take responsibility for doing the right thing anyway. wale
