Some People will be cut off as Public Transport curtailed.

The shelves of one of Cardiff's biggest supermarkets have been left completely empty as shoppers stockpile due to coronavirus fears. Wales Online telus. Though of course we already know.
While toilet roll, pasta and paracetamol were some of the first items to be stripped from the shelves - as the government encourage social distancing, supermarkets across Wales are looking increasingly bare.
One customer said that the store was much busier than usual for a weekday lunchtime.
"Although there were plenty of shelves that were well-stocked, others were empty. And different foods were now out of stock than had been running low from last weekend.
"There were no potatoes or onions, while several freezers were entirely empty and many others looked sparse. The meat aisle was almost empty, with no chicken at all.
"As had been the case in the same supermarket on the weekend, there was no pasta, rice or flour."

It is do bad that many supermarkets are following  MORRISONS  who have  pledged to create 3,500 new jobs so that it can expand its delivery services as coronavirus continues to spread throughout the UK.
The supermarket says that it is expanding home delivery with new ways of getting shopping to people and more slots for customers.

Meanwhile those without their own transport who cannot do a Bulk Shop anyway are going to find it difficult to find Public Transport  to take to do their weekly shop.

My local Bus Service has been severely curtailed and this van also affect those with jobs who cannot work at home

Luckily I have friends and family who are only too willing to help me out if I need , to  get anywhere  others are not .
No photo description available.
This is compared to the normal service

timetable
If this continues we will find Key Workers having problems getting to work including Supermarket Staff.

This is not a compliant, but it show that if people really need to travel , those who would need Public Transport are at a disadvantage and where obviously I like everyone else needs to avoid public contacts as much as possible, i wil need to restock at the very least on a monthly basis and where I can get Bread and Milk locally other foods stuffs really need a visit to a major supermarket.

Yes Shop Locally , but can we afford to for a long period?
