9. If You Are Suffering From A "Notifiable" Disease You Cannot Get The Bus
Suffering from a "notifiable disease" (whatever that is)? Well, you are banned from getting the bus and you can only get in a taxi home if you let the driver know first and they agree to give you a ride. A bus driver cannot allow you on to a bus if you have a "notifiable disease" - and you are compelled by law to notify them before you get on. The Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984 insists that any person suffering from a "notifiable disease" - a vague term, but which definitely includes the bubonic plague - may only enter a "public conveyance" if they notify the driver of their condition first. Interestingly, the driver must then alert the local authority and "disinfect" their cab afterwards. Seems extreme, doesn't it?
