Face coverings should also be worn by most people on public transport and aircraft. That includes trains, buses, and ferries. It also includes the drivers of small passenger vehicles such as taxis, Uber and Zoomy.
They don’t need to be worn:
If one of these reasons applies to you, you do not need to show a medical certificate or other documentation to prove why you are not wearing a face covering.
You will not be stopped from travelling on public transport.
It’s important to remember that some people will have legitimate reasons, such as a health issue, for not wearing a face covering.
We know the vast majority of people who are able to wear a face covering will help stop the spread and wear one when they need to.
If people are deliberately breaking the rules by not wearing a face covering on public transport without a legitimate reason, they can face a $300 infringement, or a court-imposed fine of up to $1,000.
