Allow medical professionals to park for free during the Covid-19 crisis
I think that front line medical professionals should be issued with a permit/sticker for their cars so that they can park for free in and around their places of work during the Covid-19 outbreak.
This will allow those who want to, to drive to work keeping them safer from other users of public transport as well as keep others on public transport safe. Also it will decrease their stress in a very stressful time and given the reduced public transport services will allow them to have a more efficient commute and reduce exposure on crowded public transport.
