BUS industry bosses’ “wild west” approach to Covid safety was condemned by the RMT union today as it pressed for transport workers to be prioritised for vaccinations.

A nationwide survey published by the union has revealed a shocking lack of enforcement of safety measures, putting bus workers and passengers at unnecessary risk.

Eighty per cent of the 900 bus workers surveyed said enforcement of face-covering rules has been inadequate and 70 per cent felt social distancing is not properly enforced.
