Los Angeles Metro to require use of face coverings by riders on buses and trains

Los Angeles Metro will require all riders on buses and trains to wear face coverings to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Up to now, Metro has been recommending face coverings. The agency will enforce this requirement to the extent that is practical — and will be considering the best way to enforce this rule going forward. In addition, Metro will be looking at ways the agency can help riders obtain face coverings while protecting their own supply of coverings that are needed for employees. Metro will also commence an educational campaign to inform the public of the requirement to wear face coverings in public and on the system.
