Public transportation in a civilized nation, doesn’t seem to be much of an issue.

“Ebola is relatively hard to catch compared to some other viruses like measles, SARS, or the flu. It’s not spreadable through the air, so someone won’t get it from someone else coughing or sneezing.

In order to contract Ebola, someone must touch the blood or bodily fluids (including sweat, urine, and semen) of a person or animal who’s infected (alive or dead). People can also catch it through indirect contact with victims’ fluids, such as via bedding or medical equipment.

People generally aren’t infectious until they get sick.

Ebola’s limited transmission ability is one of the main reasons why outbreaks can often be stopped within weeks or months. What it takes is public education and good health-care hygiene like isolating patients, sterilization procedures, and the use of gloves, masks, and other protective gear.”
