Abolish the mandatory use of face masks on public transport from June 15th.
Not make it mandatory. Not everyone will have access to one. Not everyone feels comfortable wearing one. No-one should have to wear one unless they want to.
It should be a choice. Not everyone has been wearing them throughout the lockdown when on transport or visiting shops. They shouldnt be mandatory on transport , more so because you dont need to wear them in terminals. They arent a proven way of protection and its not fair to force everyone to wear one. If they dont want to they shouldnt have to. Preventing someone from travelling which could impact them greatly is unfair just for not wearing a mask.
