Adelaide Metro is calling on South Australians to help it celebrate its hard-working drivers, ticket inspectors and passenger service assistants who have kept Adelaide moving during the past and continuing pandemic.
Inviting one and all to join in, Adelaide Metro said it could not operate without dedicated bus, train and tram drivers and passenger transport staff, and it wanted to say a big thank you to its frontline teams.
“These people are more than dedicated staff,” Adelaide Metro said.
“When they’re not helping get you to where you need to go, they’re looking after their families, playing sport, volunteering, studying, spending time with friends or walking their dogs at the local park,” it said.
“When they come to work, their biggest responsibilities are getting you safely where you need to go.”
The Metro said for anyone wanting to join the call to say thanks could do the following: Treat the team with respect and kindness; Wear a face covering for the duration of their journey; Not use public transport if they were feeling unwell; Wash their hands before and after travelling; Appropriately social distance where possible while travelling; and Give a wave of thanks.
“We’re living in unprecedented times in a global pandemic,” Adelaide Metro said.
“Many people are afraid, confused and frustrated.
“We get that!
“But it is never OK to take your frustrations out on our staff who are trying to keep you safe while they’re keeping Adelaide moving,” the Metro said.
