Does a taxi count as public transportation? Epidemic prevention.

Taking a taxi during the epidemic can be regarded as public transportation. There are many types of public transportation, such as airplanes, railways, highways and water transport. During the epidemic period, people should try to avoid travelling by public transport. It will be safer to drive, walk or ride a bike by yourself.

Which is safer, taxi or bus?

During the epidemic, taking a taxi and taking a bus have certain risks, but compared with taking a bus, the risk of taking a taxi is lower, which means that taking a taxi is safer than taking a bus. Because there are more people taking buses in a closed environment, the probability of infection will be higher.

In short, during the epidemic period, there is a certain risk of infection by taking any public transport, and aerosols may spread. In addition, during the epidemic, if passengers do not pay attention to groping around after getting on the bus and do not wash their hands in time after getting off the bus, contact spread may also exist.

Friends who didn't stop working during the epidemic had better drive by themselves. They can ride bicycles, electric cars or drive private cars. If they really don't have the conditions, they need to take public transport to and from work, and they don't have to be too nervous. The key to travel safely by public transport is to isolate the space. On crowded public transport, passengers need to wear masks, don't take them off all the time, and do hand hygiene at all times. Pay attention to washing their hands in time when you get home.
