One of the country's largest taxi groups, Blue Bubble Taxis, wants information from the Transport Agency and the Ministry of Transport on how the rules should be applied. The information Wilkinson has so far is that it won't be the responsibility of the driver to become an enforcement officer for mask-wearing. The union representing bus drivers wants the Government to supply security guards to enforce the rules and keep drivers safe. Jared Abbott from First Union, which represents bus drivers, said drivers copped a lot of abuse during lockdown trying to enforce social distancing rules.
