Decision in late June

The SBB would also be obliged to wear a mask. According to the “Tagesanzeiger”, the company is demanding public support to bring back commuter flows and thus customers. The federal home office recommendation helps people stay at home. A mandatory mask could therefore increase confidence in public transport.

Trains are still full again
The problem could also take care of itself. There are already more passengers on the move. The use of trains had dropped by 90 percent in recent weeks. In the meantime, the trains are partially filling up by more than half.

The close relationship could soon become a bigger problem. “At some point, the app may help us,” says Kuster. Until then, you should protect yourself with a mask. “I was sitting alone in the compartment today and still wore a mask”.
