In London, 21 TfL workers have died so far, 15 of whom were bus drivers.

That’s from a total workforce of 60,000.

By some way of comparison, 34 NHS workers have lost their lives, out of a workforce of 1.5 million.

Most people who work for NHS aren't patient facing, most of those who are, aren't covid 19 patient facing, all of those who are covid 19 facing are PPE protected, try comparing like with like

Taxis seem to be the safest workplaces for transport providers. Rideshare anyone?
