Munich - No mask on !? Wearing mouth and nose protection is also compulsory on buses and trains. But that doesn't suit all travelers. The police have to intervene again and again. And many passengers are also annoyed. Some examples:
Grafing : On the journey from Rosenheim to Munich on Wednesday, shortly before 1 a.m., a 50-year-old Austrian was noticed in a meridian who, according to the police, was wearing his mouth and nose mask “continuously under his nose”. When a Moosacher (41) made him aware of this in Grafing, he stepped up and shouted at him: “I'll beat you to death!” The man who lived in Tutzing ignored multiple tips from the train staff. Since he was drunk, a conductor alerted the federal police. The train crew may not enforce the mask requirement alone. The federal police received the unruly passenger in Munich and reported him.

The majority of the people did not adhere to the mask requirement - not even the drivers! ”The organist had to change trains twice on his bus trip - the last time shortly after Zagreb when it was said that the bus was too full. “Even on the third bus, many did not wear a mask. When I pointed this out, I was only complained about or laughed at. ”Holzwarth wore an FFP2 respirator during the entire journey. “When I finally asked the driver about the mask requirement, he said it was only necessary if the police were coming.” Passengers in other Flix buses also took photos of fellow passengers without a mask.
Flixbus explains: “We inform our passengers when purchasing tickets, but also through the drivers, that wearing a mask is mandatory. We also appeal to the travelers' sense of responsibility to adhere to the guidelines in the interests of their own health and that of all fellow travelers. ”If drivers feel they have to exclude those who don't wear masks from being transported, they are encouraged to alert the police, if the traveler does not cooperate ...
