Dr Strang has approved an increase of up to 75% of passenger capacity for charter vehicles, effective immediately.

All Public Health measures and safety protocols must be enacted, including:

• Non-medial masks worn by all (driver and passengers) while on the bus
• Passenger screening
• Hand washing before entering
• Loading and unloading protocols are consistently followed

There are four styles of seating, dependent on the charter type:

• Transit style (at the window)
• Crisscross style (with the empty rows being permitted to have a single occupant) up to max 75%
• Bubble style (each group must be 2 Metres apart) up to max 75% (or whichever the lesser)
• Teams style (any team; crew; work group that doesn’t social distance (when not on the bus) may be a “team” on the bus and sit as they wish) to a maximum of 75%

Contact your Carrier/Operator or the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board for further information on capacity and configuration requirements.
