How to social distancing in crowded mrt or buses?

[phtthp]

means


MRT to "mark out" the seats, ie.
Fix the Alternate seating arrangement

If got people sit down, then don’t sit right next to the person

and also

During peak hours,
MRT staff got to control the crowd entering into each MRT cabin (or carriage) count by setting a maximum number of people allowed to enter, per cabin. People got to queue up orderly. Once reach maximum quota per cabin (carriage) boarding, Wait for the Next Train to arrive, please

Instead of now, everybody just mad rush into train carriages, during peak hours.

To ensure nobody jump queue, everyone to queue up properly, MRT to announce (broadcast) at each station at regular interval, during peak hours that

Unless the frequency of busses and MRT increased AND office hours is staggered, I don’t see how to do social distancing in bus and MRT.

currently,

we all, workers / students, whether young, elderly, besides

- avoid peak hours,
- board the train with fewer passengers, or
- sit at the Upper deck of the bus with fewer people,

during peak hours,
MRT need to do her part too, think of some other solution. All companies also need to help society as well, during this global pandemic

Anyone has other suggestion ?


==================

for hawker centre,
people buying food, instead of eat there physically at the hawker centre benches or tables,
can packet or \"da bao\" food back to their own offices / home, to eat


for public library,
people can spread out themselves, to sit

[zac's mum]

Are there still offices that don’t stagger their working hours?


Which are the industries that still require staff to clock in at 9am sharp?
