Question

Hello, The Traveler's Prayer - when traveling by bus or car, should each person say the Traveler's Prayer individually, or can one person say it for everyone? Does it differ if traveling as a group or individually on a bus, and is it permissible to say it over a loudspeaker for the passengers? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello 

It is preferable for each person to bless themselves.

Since the Traveler's Prayer is a request for mercy, it is better for each person to ask for mercy for themselves.
