Public transport measures against Covid-19
We at TMB are implementing measures for the prevention of contagion within our network.
Avoid peak times. Wearing a mask is compulsory on public transport. Wash your hands frequently with soap or hydroalcohoic gel. You can plann your journey by consulting the estimated level of occupancy. Spread out along the metro cars and buses as much as possible. Use disposable paper tissues. If you sneeze, cover yourself with your inside elbow. If you feel unwell or belong to a risk group, do not use public transport.
* As of 14 September, access to buses through the front door has been restored. Drivers can also exchange damaged cards and apply disinfection products after each exchange.
