Commuters face chaos

COMMUTER chaos looms as capacity on buses and trains is slashed when the lockdown is eased.

Ministers announced yesterday operators will need to run at around 10 to 25 per cent of capacity to impose social distancing, along with reduced services.

It has sparked fears of long queues at rail stations and gridlock as more commuters take to the roads.

Scottish Greens transport spokesman John Finnie said: ‘Measures must be put in place to ensure we don’t simply go from lockdown to gridlock.’

Mr Matheson said guidance will unveiled in the coming weeks ‘on how and when to use public transport’.
