Transportation Operations with reopening

[JustinS30]

Looking to start a thread on the operation of the transportation (busses, monorails, boats, etc...) with the phased re-opening. Have an upcoming trip and trying to determine if the expense for a rental car is worth it...TIA

Buses are separated into zones with plexiglas. Did zones, one party per zone, no sharing (so a solo traveler "fills" one section.) Bus driver assigns zones, no standees, one tied-down mobility device per bus unless two users are traveling togethr, then two. Maximum 25 passengers per bus, I think six people per party. Or section. Not sure on that.

Monorail cars are separated by dividers. CM tells you where to stand preboarding, then for boarding. Numbers on the ground, not necessarily related - so being on circle 1 in line doesn't mean you will be in position 1 at the door. No standing.

Ferry has socially distanced standing/sitting areas.

thank you this is a great response! Have you noticed if there’s delays created due to the limited capacity on the busses/boats/etc...or do the lower crowds even it out?

I'm not there. I'm going off a detailed trip report from a friend who went for the weekend

Buses are coming much more frequently. Usually one bus leaves, then another one pulls up right behind it.

that sounds great! Hopefully that pace keeps up. Keep the guests moving

The Epcot monorail is closed, even though Epcot is open.

well this is unfortunate news. Does anyone know if there are plans to open it?

No, I don't know why it's closed (my guess is cost) or when it will reopen.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Probably closed due to no park hopping.

that does make sense. Was curious as I have an upcoming Poly stay and was thinking of transport to Epcot but I guess bus will do

What are the hours of the resort monorail?

You can also monorail over to MK, hop on a bus to Beach Club and walk to International Gateway. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please.
