[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in DC, but I've started riding transit again. Compliance is very high (although I was on a bus and a woman lowered her mask to yell a question to the driver at the front of the bus #notgettingit). I think there will be a lot of peer enforcement of this on. There is a high correlation between people who ride transit right now and those working and/or living in hard hit populations-we are taking it seriously.[/quote]

I think peer enforcement will be the key driver here.  If everyone is wearing a mask and you aren't, you stand out, and not in a good way.  And bonus, if we all wear masks, we're all safer!  [/quote]

What? But if we all pay for our metro fares, shouldn't those who hope the turnstile stand out? Or those eating chicken wings stand out. The 'peer enforcement' thing does not work in todays society.

I am all for the face masks, I'll wear my face mask, but I am under no illusion that there will be non mask wearers and no mechanism to prevent that person from riding.

Why is this even a rule if there is no enforcement. Just remove it like the eating on the train rule that was too inconvenient to inforce.[/quote]
