Swindon’s Bus Company has installed hand sanitisers aboard its vehicles.
The sanitisers are ready for customers as they board
It is the latest of a series of measures, including new seating arrangements, aimed at tackling covid-19 risks.
The sanitisers will be available for customers to use as they board services.
Swindon's Bus Company Managing Director Andrew Wickham said: “Since the government began easing lockdown, we have seen a steady increase in passengers across our network - and we are thrilled to be welcoming them back.
“Our team is good to go - and so are our buses. We already have stringent cleaning regimes in place - including extra focus on touch touch-points with anti-viral wipes.
"But we are giving our operation the ‘belt and braces’ treatment, by also adding hand sanitisers.
“It’s about ensuring people know they can travel on our buses with confidence and, with demand for our services rising, we are pleased with the response we are seeing here.”
Swindon’s Bus Company recently received the industry standard mark ‘We’re Good to Go’ - which recognises efforts to implement cleaning and social distancing measures for staff and customers during the coronavirus crisis.
The standard is issued by Visit Britain to confirm businesses are ready to encourage visitors.
Andrew said: “We are of course keen to help people visit Swindon for its great shops and restaurants.
"Our services are used extensively by those who live and work here too - and we’re delighted to be welcoming them on board.”
