The City of Lethbridge announced some significant changes to its transit and parks operations on Monday as part of new measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
They include the suspension of all Lethbridge Transit fares until further notice to help limit contact between drivers and riders.
The city is asking customers to use transit for essential travel only and when they do, riders must enter and exit the bus from the rear door.
Transit users with special mobility or accessibility needs will still be allowed to use the forward door. “We’re going to do better as a community throughout this crisis if people begin taking preventative steps right now,” said Lethbridge Mayor Chris Spearman.
