Measures to keep customers and employees safe during the pandemic are under constant review, Reading Buses assured today.
The monitoring of items such as hand sanitiser is highlighted by the usage of the anti-germ product on each service bus.
Reading Buses disclosed today that they are currently over halfway through their third order for hand sanitiser. Each order size is 1,000 litres.
“We want to re-emphasise the message that at all times the prime objective at Reading Buses is to look after the safety of those people who have to travel,” said Chief Executive Officer Robert Williams.
“In addition to the hand sanitiser on every bus, we have many other measures to help keep our customers, and our drivers, safe. Buses are cleaned even more so than ever before, with special attention paid to high-contact areas such as hand poles and bell pushes.
“Customers are reminded to wear a face covering for the entirety of their journeys and to keep the windows open to help with ventilation.
“It’s things like this, and more, that help to keep everyone safe and well on our buses.”
Branded individual hand sanitiser is also being sold by Reading Buses to raise funds for their Charity of the Year Sport in Mind.
Said Robert: “The hand sanitiser is great because it comes with a handy clip and smells good too.”
Hand sanitiser, a colourful face covering, a pen and ‘I love Reading Buses’ badge, branded as ‘The Reading Buses Collection,’ are being sold at their Bus Shop, Broad Street Mall, at £7 in support of Sport in Mind.
“All profits from the sale of the collection as well as individual protective items go straight to Sport in Mind which means that all our fundraising efforts will help them.
“In addition to the Bus Shop, customers can also get these great items online at https://reading-buses.myshopify.com,” he added.
