To slow the spread in the event of further outbreaks of Covid-19, face coverings will be required on all public transportation. Following Uber's global requirement that drivers wear masks, this will include all rideshare services as well.
This joins rules that QR codes be posted, and the global recommendation that cars be sanitised regularly, certainly before/after a shift.
We see this as an opportunity for drivers - people may switch to rideshare to avoid buses. Riders will be looking for a higher degree of hygiene in your vehicle - so be sure to wipe all surfaces, ensure that the car looks clean (and IS clean) and smells good or neutral. We anticipate that riders will be rating on a different scale than they may have in the past due to this new information about public transport.
