Following our post yesterday about face coverings and who must wear them, our local bus operators have updated their websites to include more details about their policies on the wearing of face coverings and possible exemptions.
You can read what Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire has to say about it here: https://klch.co.uk/news. Passengers who cannot wear a mask for medical reasons are asked simply to explain that to the driver.
Meanwhile, Stagecoach has now updated its website to include details of its Journey Assistance Cards which can be used by passengers who are exempt from the need to wear a mask for medical reasons. These cards can be shown to drivers to explain why the passenger is not wearing a mask and might also come in useful to show to other passengers who might object to anyone not wearing one.
You'll need to download and complete an application form from the Stagecoach website, after which they'll email you a card that you can print off, or they will send one directly to your smart phone.
As it takes no fewer than FOUR clicks to find the application form on the site we've saved you the trouble by including a direct link: https://r1.dotdigital-pages.com/p/50SA-3RG/journey-assistance-card-request
