By about Monday (Aug 29) noon, Grab driver Sabrina Tay had driven eight groups of passengers. All were masked, except a group of boys. When they got in, it made her nervous. 'They told me that from today, they don't have to wear a mask in the car anymore,' Ms Tay, 43, said....
With time, they expect more and more passengers to do away with masks. There is worry that it will become increasingly uncomfortable for drivers to state their preference as it becomes more normalised.
Gojek said it still encourages passengers to wear a mask, especially if they feel unwell - following the Land Transport Authority's official advisory last week. This applies to both passenger and driver, said cabby Kasbari Marmijan, 73, who pulls up his mask from his chin if his passengers are wearing one."Some people got Covid-19 last time and said they might have got it in my car," he added. He keeps a physical copy of his vaccination certificate in case passengers ask if he has been jabbed.
