After all, the doors of the S-Bahn open automatically. Rail travelers can thus avoid contact with the hold and open button, a source of virus par excellence. But that’s already the case when it comes to corona virus protection on the train, aside from the fact that the railroad has increased its cleaning regimen based on its own reporting.
A look at neighboring countries shows that SBB could do more. “SBB’s Corona protection is weak in international comparison,” headlines the “Sunday newspaper.” Trains full, without disinfectant and without masks on board. In Switzerland, measures that go beyond deep cleaning and the mask requirement are not a problem. Conclusion: “The SBB can still catch up a lot.”
Italy concerned about passengers
Trenitalia is mentioned as an excellent example. On long-haul routes in neighboring Italy, only one in two seats are filled. A red prohibition sign hangs over seats that must remain empty; no stranger can get too close.
In addition, the Italian railways installed notices on the train doors about where to get on and off. The arrows on the floor of the car show the direction of travel. “There are containers with disinfectant on all trains.” You won’t find the latter on SBB trains. Compositions are on the go with unlimited capacity.
In the newspaper report, SBB refers to the concept of protecting public transport. This is based on federal recommendations and measures.
Deutsche Bahn and ÖBB go further than SBB
In Italy, the protection measures on trains are very extensive compared to other European countries. But Germany and Austria also went further than SBB in terms of crown protection, according to the Sunday newspaper. Those who refuse to wear masks will be kicked off the train at the SBB, in Austria a fine must be paid. That scares.
The ÖBB announces that with the time change, new disinfectant dispensers will be installed in the bathrooms of the Railjet and Nightjet trains. The DB has one ready for passengers who do not wear a mask.
When it comes to disinfectants and masks, SBB refers to disinfectant dispensers in train stations and mask outlets in train station shops and Selecta machines. (aurochs)
