Metrolinx has introduced a new protective shield that will be set up around GO bus driver’s to increase separation throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
Though the implementation would usually take upwards of 18 months, Metrolinx said the shields will be put into buses in less than six weeks.
The transit company said the shields are also being put through proper testing, including how the glare of evening and night driving affects them.
Metrolinx said it has also introduced more “digital protection” for workers on the essential construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project.
