Coronavirus: Face masks must be worn on Dubai public transport – The National

Coronavirus: Face masks must be worn on Dubai public transport. New measures include less passengers on each bus and metro trip and only two allowed in a taxi. Commuters using public transport in Dubai must wear a protective mask, according to the city's Roads and Transport Authority.. When The National made a trip on Dubai Metro on Wednesday morning, the train was practically deserted.. "Some stations are taking temperatures of passengers but not all of them.". The metro itself was much quieter than usual with only a handful of passengers using the service.. The majority of those on board were already wearing face masks to try and protect themselves.. "I have to take the metro to get work as I can't afford taxis," said a supermarket worker, 32, from India.. Another passenger also wearing a face mask said they were only using the metro because they had to go to the pharmacy, even though it was their day off..
