Operative words

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, transit should be used for essential travel only.... Leave space between themselves and other passengers and the operator, and use the rear door if able to do so. If there appears to be more than 10 passengers on a bus or train, wait for the next trip when possible. Wear a cloth face covering.... Buses are operating on a reduced service schedule and light rail trains are operating every 20 minutes. All service has been suspended between 11 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. Many indoor waiting areas are closed.
