What about all the other stuff/surfaces you can't avoid touching out there ?
I'm thinking about the packed little bus I've just been on.

Just learn not to touch your face, and wash your hands when you get the opportunity. Again I had this drummed into me during my time in catering (albeit for the opposite transmission direction.)
There's only so much you can do. In reality the most likely vectors of infection are going to be things you aren't in control of: Cafes/pubs/restaurants/etc. You drink out of and eat off/using things that have been handled by quite a few people (often with dubious hygiene practices) and that stuff is going straight into your mouth. No amount of hand gel you use on your own hands is going to change anything there.
This (and having a 10yo human petri dish of my own with a corresponding child's understanding and application of hygiene) is exactly why I'm not bothering with hand gel.

Not really.
Turn on taps, wash hands and taps, dry hands with paper towel, use paper towel to turn off taps, put paper towel in bin. If there's a door between you and the outside world use a paper towel to open/close the doors and bin it ASAP.
It's how I was taught to wash my hands when I worked in catering many many years ago.
