Angkas New Normal: No More Bring Your Own Helmets, Barriers

Motorcycle ride-hailing app Angkas on Wednesday advised commuters that under Alert Level 1, they would no longer be required to bring their own helmets and plastic barriers would be dropped.

"It's about time sizt, sa wakas," Angkas said on Facebook.

The protective dividers, attached to the motorcycle itself or worn by the riders backpack-style, was meant to substitute or physical distancing when riding on motorbikes. Alert Level 1 removes the requirement for such on all forms of public transport.
