Digital signs will also be up in buses and shuttles telling people which seats to avoid.
Notices will also be up on CTrain platforms asking riders to follow social distancing etiquette and try to choose a different train car or wait for the next one if they are full.
2 metres of space helps keep us all safe. Starting today, we are limiting seating and standing areas on our buses, trains and shuttles to implement a 2m distance between #CTRiders. Look out for signage on buses & shuttles telling you which seats to avoid. #COVIDAB #covidyyc pic.twitter.com/7hK6BB8TuJ

“We’re doing our best to keep our transit system safe for everyone and that’s why we are asking Calgarians to work together by staying apart on our vehicles,” Calgary Transit said on Twitter.
Last month, CTrain service was scaled back due to fewer people riding the train amid the pandemic.
