Many people commented on their experiences on buses within the Bracknell area, with many saying the bus companies are not doing enough to enforce the current laws.

Michelle Thomas posted on Courtney Buses public Facebook Page and said: "Unless there’s a good reason for them not to wear one then that’s more then acceptable but I’m with if you don’t wear one you don’t ride the bus, considering some one can sit right in front of you or behind and as none of the seats are taped not to sit there it is surly at must, personally I won’t use a bus unless I really have to. "

We asked residents whether they feel stricter rules should be in place and many think there should be.

Caroline Egglestone said: "No mask no getting on unless someone shows an exemption." Patrick Cooper added: "About right - as ever, enforcement will be the key given low police numbers and truculent passengers."

Mel ODonovan said: "Yes. Mask up to save our jobs and our lives this is a deadly virus."

Steven Turnbull posted on Reading Buses Facebook Page and said: "What is the point on people wearing a mask to get on the bus and then when they are on they take it off? Can it not be a bit more enforced."
