Bus conductors in Mangaluru ensure personal safety by wearing PPE kits
Mangaluru: As private bus services in the city resumed, some of the bus conductors were seen using PPE kits to ensure safety from COVID-19.
Conductors of bus services plying between State Bank and Shakti Nagar (Route no. 6A) were seen wearing PPE kits and face shields to safeguard themselves from contracting the deadly virus.
The bus services in the city resumed earlier this week with strict guidelines from the administration including the limiting of the number of passengers on the busses.
However, several buses in the city were seen having passengers in excess of the allowed numbers, but the move by conductors wearing PPE kits for personal safety was lauded by many on local social media platforms.
