What tips do you have for avoiding physical contact with others during crowded commutes, while still being able to get to your destination on time?

My best advice for avoiding physical contact during crowded commutes is to travel off-peak if possible, and to bring your own personal protective equipment. This includes items such as a face mask, gloves, and a sanitizing wipe for frequently touched surfaces. It's also important to practice good hygiene such as washing your hands often with soap and water or using hand sanitizer. When possible it may be useful to distance yourself from others by wearing an expandable waistband garment or carrying a backpack so that you don’t have to worry about bodily contact. Lastly, remember that local transportation rules vary by region – be sure to familiarize yourself with local guidelines before heading out.

My tip is to plan ahead and leave for your destination early enough that you can avoid the busiest times. Consider leaving 30 minutes or an hour earlier than you usually would and allow yourself extra time to walk or stand far enough away from other commuters so that you don’t have to come into physical contact with them. Try carrying personal protective gear such as hand sanitizer, masks, and gloves if possible.
