Limited capacity
To limit the number of passengers on each bus, no standing passengers will be allowed. Passengers are requested to keep one seat open next to them, and to rather wait for the next bus that will arrive in 30 minutes to keep as much space as possible between passengers.
Payment method
All Smart Card kiosk will be closed. Passengers who have cards, should use their Smart Cards and top up before lockdown as far as possible. Certain top-up vendors will fall under essential service providers and will still do top-ups during the lockdown. Cash trips on board will be allowed, but everybody should try to avoid handling cash at all cost and sanitise or wash their hands afterwards.
Passenger support
All GO GEORGE info kiosks will be closed. The Call Centre will be operational from 05:00 until 20:00 daily and can be phoned on 0800 044 044. The latest updates regarding service will be available on the GO GEORGE Facebook page and here on our website.
