Last week, trains, buses, metro all were operating at half capacity.

BEST banned standees, while the metro asked people to sit in alternative seats. They also then reduced services by half.

Now why is this a bad idea?

Because it leads to overcrowding because not all people could work from home.

Plus, many were trying to get home.

Still don’t think it’s a bad idea?

Note: This was before a complete lockdown happened.
