PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 5, 2020
Concord Coach Lines will resume passenger bus service between Maine and Boston in less than two weeks, after suspending service for months in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The bus company will restart a reduced daily service between Maine and Boston South Station and Logan Airport on Aug. 16. The company has enacted safety measures including Plexiglas shields at ticketing counters and bus gates, contactless ticketing, a mask requirement on buses and in terminals, regular cleaning of high-touch surfaces and electrostatic foggers to spray buses daily. Only 34 passengers will be allowed on each bus, down from the normal 51. Passengers will not be allowed to sit close to the driver or directly next to other passengers who are not in their group.
