Narrative:
Upon arrival at the gate in ZZZZ; we were not provided with a dedicated bus to take us to the aircraft. We were told to get on the bus with the passengers. Given the dangers of the coronavirus we should've been afforded a separate bus to take the crew to the aircraft. When parked at a remote hard stand; the crew should be transported in a separate bus for our safety.
