But what if you keep the hospital passing routes at near full service, and curtail all the others and staff need to use two buses to get to work - one you've preserved and one you've cut? I think the notion I'd suggest we accept is there is no perfect at the moment.
It's very hard to social distance on a bus - impossible when boarding and I'm sure with empty roads and empty visitor car parks people are adapting and overcoming and making it work.
Outpatients and visiting are largely cancelled too, so your movements to and from the hospital are drastically reduced out with of shift change time too.
That's the problem with the current service level though. There's so many variable shifts in hospitals that a service level being worse than Sunday service frequency becomes a major problem not to mention other people that still need to get to work too. It's hard to socially distance on a bus but it's only going to get even harder with these reductions being so harsh. Every 20/30 mins on the main routes could work but there's main routes going worse than that which will cause a barrel load of problems for people connecting between 2 services. It's only going to turn more people away after this is all over too because people will remember that the passenger hasn't been put first again
