Metro Transit issues no tickets, but plenty of warnings to riders not wearing masks

Electronic destination signs on Metro Transit buses tell riders face coverings are required; the federal mask mandate to wear them on public transportation has been extended into January.

But Drive readers Steve and Jane wonder if Metro Transit is bothering to enforce the mask mandate.

"On some bus rides, patrons are being allowed to ride without a mask, or refusing to wear them once they've boarded and being allowed to stay on," Steve said in his late August e-mail. "Rhetoric about enforcing the mandate and protecting the public health of riders and drivers simply doesn't match the on-the-ground reality."
