Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Cap Metro) commuter-rail riders must wear a mask or other facial covering, Austin, Texas, city officials announced this week.

City officials issued an order requiring the public to wear masks in all public facilities or when in locations where proper social distancing is not possible, including on transit vehicles. 

If a mask is not available, riders may opt to wear scarves, handkerchiefs or shirts pulled over the mouth and nose, Cap Metro officials said in a press release.

The order does not replace the need to maintain a physical distance of 6 feet between riders.
