The new regulation will limit capacity on buses to 12 people, to allow commuters to safely socially distance themselves from one another. However, up to 15 passengers will be allowed on the bus if it reaches capacity to accommodate groups.
Fares continue to be free until further notice and riders must enter using the rear door unless the ramp is needed.
