    Well I know people aren't wearing masks on trains because nobody is checking.. my friend gets the train daily for work and she says not many people are wearing them but nobody is there to enforce it.
    Shits not gonna work if it's not enforced🤦‍♀️

    I don’t believe in masks unless you can’t social distance then wear one. But I mean i was on the bus the other day and obvious put on one because it’s the rule but I saw 0 point in it because there was only like 2 other people there

    @Shaunie yeah I agree it's a mix of following the guidelines as much as possible and some common-sense too.

    @Liam OMG!! The Kelpies!! I've been there too a few years ago it was great! 

    @GreenTea I've heard the same is happening up here. No one there to enforce mask wearing so no one does... hardly worth having the rule.

    It's easier on buses because the driver can simply not let you on, with trains nobody seems to give a crap. 
    I wish people would realise the longer it takes to follow rules, the longer it's going to take for the country to move forward

    I actually got on a bus without one on. But I put it on when I sat down. But he didn’t even question if I had one

    Some people think they’re invisble to the virus when they’re wearing a mask so I’m glad it’s not a rule to wear it everywhere

    Buses are confined spaces where you are touching where other people have touched and when people cough and sneeze..there's no where for it to go. 
    That's why masks are there's stop people touching their face and to catch their own germs

    I actually cannae wear a mask because I had my ears stitched back when I were a wee wean cause they stuck out like dumbo. They just scrunch my ears up and fall off cause there’s no gap at the top of my ear lol so I have to wear a scarf or something. Not ideal but I don’t get on public transport anywho

    I have a cotton mask that lives in my bag incase I ever need it. It can be washed too. It's just there Incase I need a bus or taxi, or an emergency GP appointment (have to wear them there too)

    “Your supposed to put your mask on when you talk not take it off” my mums a nurse in a care home she says she tells the careers that at least 20 times per shift!! If the careers can’t even hack it how do you expect the rest of the country :lol:

    Yeah I do hate it when people wear their masks but not properly, it's like people think they're following the rules because they're wearing a mask but actually they're not protecting anyone because it's not covering their nose and their mouth :joy:

    I watched a woman come out the shop with gloves in..and light a smoke and start smoking with the gloves on... completely defeats the idea of gloves..

    Your better off just washing your hands regularly and not touching your face than wearing gloves!!

    Me too, how do people not get that the glove will pick up the virus and then touching your face with the glove on is the same as touching your face with unwashed hands and no gloves......
