But at least TfL view our trade as 'public transport'. =D>

Can't be bothered reading all that, but when it mentions the trade it says 'taxis and private hire' OR public transport.

Which reads to me like TfL viewing the trade as distinct from public transport.

Which in any case is surely a good thing if the public are being discouraged from using public transport?

TfL wrote:
If using public transport, or taxi and private hire services, please travel outside of peak times and use a facial covering, carry a hand sanitizer and wash your hands before and after you travel. The latest Government advice is that, although face coverings are unlikely to prevent you from getting the virus, they could help prevent you from giving it to others. Face coverings are particularly important where 2m social distancing is hard to maintain.

As the Mayor has set out, Londoners are being asked to play their part in the national effort against the virus and will be asked to wear facial coverings whenever travelling on public transport or by taxi or private hire vehicle. This could help reduce the rate of infection. TfL front line staff, cleaners, and London's bus drivers will also be offered face masks, starting from today, should they wish to use them.

'Please use facial coverings for any travel on public transport or if using taxi and private hire services. We are providing them to our staff as well and will be installing hand sanitizer across the transport network. The Mayor's Streetspace programme will also support greater walking and cycling whilst enabling social distancing on streets.'

Me, plan ahead, face coverings are here for the foreseeable future, I’ve got a good Taxi collection of face coverings. Remember it’s how the punter views our trade and driver etc. If they see us with face coverings they’ll more likely trust us, safety sells.

yeah time for another plug But are they machine washable because I always view facemasks as use once and throw not everyday use

Yes edders they are, on a warm wash, they also hold the image really well and can definitely be used time and time again.
