"During this pandemic we have all learned just how important social distancing is. However it is difficult to practice social distancing in some situations, one being public transportaion. This has led to a lot of people to just stop using public transportation all together due to the fear of getting COVID-19 which means the MTA has lost a large amount of money. However some people have no choice but to continue taking public transportation despite this. The MTA has tried to ease some of these concerns by putting up a plasic spread towards the front of the bus to seperate the elderly from evertone else, but honestly this is not enough because the people in back are still bundled up together. Now the challenge of this is increasing the safety measures for passengers who regurly use public transportion by using technology. "
