STAGECOACH will be running a reduced timetable from Monday March 30.
It will operate across the region until further notice. The timetables have been created to ensure critical routes are maintained wherever possible.
It follows action by bus operators to enhance cleaning regimes and protect the safety and wellbeing of customers and bus workers.
And the bus and coach industry is also working with government to help ensure the long-term future of bus services critical to the economy and local communities, are protected.
Stagecoach Midlands managing director Mark Whitelocks said: “Along with other bus operators and key sectors, we are working hard to support the national effort to tackle the current challenging situation.
“The safety of our customers and our employees is at the heart of everything we do. We also know that our bus services play a vital role in keeping the country running and ensuring key sector personnel get to work.
“Following the latest government advice, we have reviewed our timetables and made temporary changes which reflect the reduced level of travel. Our objective has been to focus resources on where we know they are needed most at this time.
“We are working hard to best maintain essential services, safeguard jobs and ensure the long-term sustainability of a sector which is central to our economy and communities.
“We will continue to monitor the position, liaise closely with government and other authorities, and respond as appropriate to what is a dynamic situation.”
Since the impact of the coronavirus in the UK, Stagecoach has implemented additional hygiene measures to protect passengers, frontline bus workers and office-based staff.
In addition to established cleaning regimes, there has been more frequent cleaning of main customer touch-points on buses, such as hand poles and grab rails.
