Operative words
Beginning Monday, May 11, face coverings are mandatory for all Metro Transit customers and employees when riding MetroBus, MetroLink or Metro Call-A-Ride services.... Transit riders must wear their face coverings during their entire trip on a Metro Transit vehicle.... Transit users who are not wearing a face covering will not be permitted to board MetroBus, MetroLink or Metro Call-A-Ride vehicles. The requirement to wear face coverings on public transit follows recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and a requirement issued by the State of Illinois... [Metro has been] waiving the collection of cash fares on MetroBus since March 21, and riders have been boarding buses via the rear doors.
