In an announcement made on Friday around 5pm, passengers will be expected to use the rear doors to board and alight buses. The first row of passenger seats will be kept unoccupied to provide a buffer zone for the driver. Drivers will no longer sell regional tickets. Passengers are meanwhile asked to keep a safe distance from the driver.

The temporary closure of schools means that bus routes serving primary and secondary education facilities as well as the HMC workshops in Capellen will not operate from 16-28 March. And buses serving Schengen Lyzeum D-Perl will cease operating from 16 March to 24 April.
