A George transport bus driver has expressed disappointment saying passengers are taking off their face masks after getting into the bus.

This after FBC News approached the driver to ask as to why the passengers are without face masks.

Atish Kumar says he knows when the passenger gets in, they were wearing masks and they tend to take them off while onboard.

“Maybe the mask was in their pocket, when they come inside what happens is we check their masks.”

Kumar also highlighted the need for more enforcement officers to enforce mask-wearing as an important measure for the safety of Fijians.

Overall, many of those who came to town this morning have masks on.

There were also people selling masks near the Suva bus stand.
