Masks to remain on TfL

Passengers must continue to wear face coverings on the capital’s transport network even after restrictions ease on Monday 19th July.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said he was not prepared to put bus, tube, and other transport users at risk by relaxing the rules on face coverings.

Face masks have been mandatory on public transport for the past year to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) virus.

The government, however, is replacing those rules with guidance, advising passengers to wear masks only on busy services.
