As schools set to open, teachers say they can’t afford other modes of travel to get to work

Double vaccination is needed for train travel
Teachers are demanding to be allowed to board local trains with just one dose of vaccine. As schools in the city are set to reopen tomorrow, teachers are preparing to travel. With many still not fully vaccinated, they fear taking alternative modes of travel, as they are not eligible for the local train pass.
Currently, only those citizens who are fully vaccinated are allowed to take the monthly pass to board local trains, this too after completing 14 days from the second shot of vaccine. But now, teachers are insisting on local train travel as other modes of transportation would be costly and time-consuming.
