Risk of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Transmission in Train Passengers: an Epidemiological and Modeling Study

Maogui Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that there is a high transmission risk of COVID-19 among train passengers, but this risk varies significantly with co-travel time and seat location. As co-travel time increases, the risk of infection also increases, and measures should be taken to reduce transmission risk, such as increasing seat distance, reducing passenger density, and using personal hygiene protection.

Modeling epidemic spreading through public transit using time-varying encounter network

Baichuan Mo et al.

Summary: This study proposes a time-varying weighted public transit encounter network to model the spread of infectious diseases through public transit systems, considering both local and global social activity contacts. The research shows that people's preventative behavior is one of the most effective measures to control epidemic spread; partial closure of bus routes can slow down but not fully contain the epidemic; identifying influential passengers using smart card data and isolating them early can effectively reduce the epidemic spread.

Impacts of interpersonal distancing on-board trains during the COVID-19 emergency

Pierluigi Coppola et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 emergency and cities lockdown had a significant impact on transport and mobility, leading to a drastic drop in travel demand, especially for public transport. As cities reopen, demand is gradually returning to pre-crisis levels, but with structural changes in travel behavior. Containment measures continue to affect transport supply.

Will Covid-19 put the public back in public transport? A UK perspective

Roger Vickerman

Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted public transport systems globally, requiring public financial support to maintain services. This paper highlights that public transport is adjusting to a new normal of more remote working and fear of crowded spaces, potentially leading to the end of deregulated competitive public transport models.

Mobility and the effective reproduction rate of COVID-19

Robert B. Noland

Summary: Reducing mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic can effectively reduce the spread of the coronavirus. Staying at home is an effective way to decrease the effective reproduction rate (Rt), while other activities may result in an increase in Rt. Predictions suggest that controlling the epidemic requires a reduction of about 20-40% in mobility.

Geographic disparities in COVID-19 infections and deaths: The role of transportation

Darrell J. Gaskin et al.

Summary: The study found that areas near airports have higher rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths, indicating a need for more effective policies to detect and isolate infected travelers. Collaboration between transportation and public health officials is essential to protect travelers and transportation workers from COVID-19.

Public transport planning adaption under the COVID-19 pandemic crisis: literature review of research needs and directions

Konstantinos Gkiotsalitis et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has significantly affected public transport ridership and service provision worldwide. New planning requirements have been developed to reduce service capacity compared to the pre-pandemic period. This literature review aims to identify the impacts of COVID-19 on public transport and the existing planning methods, as well as intervention measures to support service providers in the post-shutdown phase.
