How about black cabs (is the attack screen useful for protection against coughs and splutters) and private hire cars?

Do what I always do--use clothing to open doors, or elbows. I've always done this, even before now.
Work at St Thomas', so will still have to get train and tube.
Although I'm young, avoiding parents and all family because parents are quite a bit older but in excellent health, still for the best though.

Casual users of hire bikes must push a number of buttons before they can ride. You need a bike dongle sent to you in the post to avoid all of that.

Standing passengers on Tube, train, Overground DLR or bus will have to hold on to a grubby grab rail, so I'm not sure why only "bus" gets a "yes" in that column.

What role might gloves play in this button business? Either standard ones, or disposable. I can't decide whether they help or not.

So .... use your knuckle instead of a finger tip to press a door button? I’ve been doing this for years anyway.
See also “touch a public toilet door handle through a layer of clothing instead of your bare hand” ...

This post is anyway a bit of a joke I guess, but as I understand it the liklehood of becoming infected by a virus because you touched a button is very low, providing you wash your hands before you subsequently use them for food preparation etc.
By far the biggest risk is being in the vicinity of someone who is infected.
So I perhaps a better table would be showing how possible it is to maintain personal space in public transport.
Maybe the Dangleway still wins, providing ridership is so low you can get your own cabin? ;)

See I'm not the only Jonathan! I'm not the Dangleway comment Jonathan, I'm the other one---on the tube, if it's just me, I've only ever just leant on the pole with a jacket/jumper etc, never held on.

How long until the Dangleway closes to allow staff to be redeployed elsewhere? I think by Thursday next week.

In some parts of London where there is a big observant Orthodox Jewish community, pedestrian crossings are set to switch from green to red men automatically during the Jewish sabbath, so that (in accordance with religious law about "not creating work", as pushing a button to trigger an electric circuit is deemed to do) locals who follow those rules are free to do so. Maybe rolling that out across the board, 24/7, if it's easy to do, wouldn't be a bad idea.

Pay contactless if you can. Don't touch your face....don't touch your face, DON'T touch your face....unless you're washing it.

Also unless you stand by the door of the bus and wait until the bus stops before moving, you'll need to hold on to handrails when getting off the bus (especially from upstairs)

I understand in many cases the lights at pedestrian crossings are always set to automatic. The buttons are there just to give pedestrians a sense of control.

my carriage on the tube going home last night was devoid of coughers and splutterers - it was devoid of all human life (sauf moi).

Why not suspend parking restrictions and congestion charge so key workers can use their own single-occupied cars to attend work?

Suspend parking restrictions and you still wouldn't be able to park there because someone else had parked there already. A lot of parking restrictions are to stop one person hogging the space.

Why didn't you include motorcycling as a mode of transport? Your sardonic comment on danger would then have been fully justified by the statistics.

I suspect this is seriously going to curtail your adventures.
It is mine, and I'm just doing a weekly one!

Dangleway closed on Saturday 21st March "until further notice".
