UV disinfection for rooms is effective, but for vehicles it is a quite more complicated matter. Any surface inside a shadow is not disinfected by the UV, so something as big and "closed" as a bus can have a lot of blind spots. I guess as long as the commonly touched surfaces are properly irradiated it would not be a problem, but with something as contagious as the COVID-19 it feels still a little risky.

Well virusrex vehicles, especially their ventilation system were not made to be cleaned this way, in fact same with cars and buildings, we maybe have to rethink and redesign air-conditioning ducting, completely, not just now but for ever

They do recognize the problem. Maybe they'll use spray selectively to complement the UV

Does UV-C have to be stationary to be effective? Can they attach it to a roomba or a drone?
If they can use these to clean planes, cruise ships and trains that would be great!

Too many nooks and crannies on a bus for this to be effective.
