Protective Driver Screens for Public Bus Fleet

The Challenge

North Yorkshire County Council needed a practical solution to help protect bus drivers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Existing driver cabins had gaps in the glass partitions, leaving drivers exposed to potential transmission from passengers. The council required a solution that could be installed across their fleet, reduce risk to drivers, and maintain visibility and day-to-day usability.

The Solution

Canvasman designed and manufactured custom transparent screens to close the gaps in the existing driver partitions. The solution included: Clear, durable materials; Custom-fitted panels; Quick installation; Safety-focused design

The Result

The new screens reduced exposure risks for drivers and helped the council continue operating essential public transport services with greater confidence during the pandemic.
