As part of the EU's response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Council today adopted a set of conclusions aimed at restoring passengers' and workers' confidence by minimising the risk of infection in cross-border collective passenger transport systems. In the conclusions, the Council promotes a number of basic hygiene and infection control measures, which should apply to all cross-border collective passenger transport services. Such recommended measures consist of among others :
- physical distancing or, where this is not feasible, use of masks,
- greater use of digital ticketing and digital ticket inspections,
- observing high standards of fresh air circulation and cleanliness of means of transport.
