We need everyone using public transport to be vaccinated. We have seen the number of students getting COVID that are subjected to using the Maxis and Taxis to/from school.
We have to understand that, not every student is fortunate to have his/her parents to take them to school and public transportation is their only means.
This also goes for workers getting to/from their jobs who don’t have the luxury of affording their own vehicles.
There must be a new policy in place to get only vaccinated people in order for them to use public transportation, water taxis, ferries etc
