The elephant in the room?
How do you keep two metres apart in a saloon car?
A reasonable point, but not IMO an elephant in the room issue.
Driving around all day I see vans with more than one person in the front, bin lorries with more than one person in the front, scaffold lorries with more than one person in the front, hospital transport with more than one person in the front. I could go on. In short those currently working in the saloon taxi/PH trade are not unique.
Public transport is never going to be able to meet the criteria being laid down for the general public. Take buses, they are spacing out the seats on which punters can sit on, but to get to those seats the public must walk down the isle passing within inches of other punters.
Same with planes, the boss of Heathrow recently said social distancing on planes, and in airports is impossible.
As indicated yesterday, despite the dimbo wearing his facemask upside down, the NHS are passing work to our saloon trade. Would they be doing that if a big fat lawsuit was going to follow at some time?
So like most things in this trade, it's down to each of us to look after ourselves. But this isn't something that's being hidden or not talked about.
