Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses are wondering what the future of safe transportation may look like and the Philippines-based Metro Manila Council has answered this question with its new, ready-to-install anti-COVID dividers for buses and other methods of transportation.
“The divider material is non-permeable, transparent plastic and the dividers are installed conforming to physical distancing. They may be installed one seat apart or even at less than one meter apart. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) guidelines allow PUJ operators to install impermeable barriers between rows of seats that are less than one meter apart if they wish to maximize the 50 percent passenger load,” shares Centro senior sales manager Vic Belisario.
