Operative words

TARC has dramatically reduced the number of buses on the street, while still making sure to comply with Department of Homeland Security's 'critical infrastructure' designation. This reduction has thereby reduced exposure of TARC's workforce by more than 1/3... TARC has reduced the number of passengers onboard buses to 25, with drivers required to request an additional bus at 15 passengers... TARC has moved the yellow 'standee' line back to 8 feet on all buses... TARC has executed an emergency layoff plan.
