[Photo] Mandatory Masks on Public Transportation Starting Tomorrow

Starting from the 26th, wearing a mask will be mandatory when using buses, taxis, and railways. This measure aims to encourage mask-wearing amid concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) through public transportation. Although there are no penalties such as fines for passengers not wearing masks, drivers may refuse boarding before departure.
