Limiting your potential exposure to the Covid-19 virus is a smart idea. The question is, is using public transport during a pandemic also a smart idea? Here are a few things to consider before climbing into your airport taxi Toronto.
Perceptually, a Toronto airport taxi would be a safer option than a crowded bus or streetcar; you know if you’re sick, and your exposure is primarily limited to the person driving the vehicle. However, the risk indoors in tightly confined spaces like a taxi is higher than a big bus; your cab driver encounters many different people over the course of a shift, and depending on the safety measures implemented by the Toronto airport taxi company, your are at higher risk than if you were walking.
That said, ensuring both drivers and passengers adhere to public safety measures is the key to safely travelling in a Toronto airport taxi. Aeroport Taxi and Limousine has implemented strict safety measures for all its passenger vehicles, including installing plexiglass shields, cleaning and disinfecting before and after each passenger service, and enforcing mask policies for drivers and passengers.
