Estimation of crowding factors for public transport during the COVID-19 pandemic in Santiago, Chile

Paul Basnak et al.

Summary: A sharp decrease in public transport demand has been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey conducted in Santiago, Chile revealed that mode preferences have changed, with crowding and face mask use significantly impacting public transport choices. Women are more sensitive to the use of face masks in public transport, while young and low-income individuals are less sensitive to crowding. Disinfection of vehicles, as well as the perception of health risk, cleanliness, safety, and comfort, also play important roles in mode choice.

Valuation of Metro Crowding Considering Heterogeneity of Route Choice Behaviors

Hosuk Shin et al.

Summary: The metro system in Seoul, South Korea is relied on by over seven million people daily and plays a vital role in connecting passengers to desired locations. Despite the benefits, crowding can significantly impact passengers' travel experience, leading to the need for evaluation and improvement. The study quantifies the level of crowding and its impact on route choice for metro passengers, showing that Seoul metro passengers are more sensitive to crowding than those in other major city metros around the world.

Mobility Behaviour in View of the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic-Public Transport Users in Gdansk Case Study

Adam Przybylowski et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mobility behaviors of public transport users, leading to many abandoning or limiting their use of public transport while others hope to return to it after the pandemic. The future of public transport in cities and passengers' willingness to use it post-pandemic will largely depend on their perceived comfort and safety during the epidemic, highlighting the importance of enhancing these perceptions in transport policies to encourage sustainable modes of transport in the future.

Estimation and Mitigation of Epidemic Risk on a Public Transit Route using Automatic Passenger Count Data

Pramesh Kumar et al.

Summary: This study examines the potential spread of infectious diseases through passenger encounters in public transit systems using automatic passenger count data. It proposes an algorithm to evaluate various measures and finds that the risk of disease transmission increases significantly with the number of passengers on board. Restricting passenger numbers can effectively reduce this risk, highlighting the importance of managing passenger density for disease control.

Effects of COVID-19 on rail passengers' crowding perceptions

Kayvan Aghabayk et al.

Summary: Understanding changes in travel behavior during the spread of COVID-19 is vital to developing a resilient transportation system. A study on the impact of the pandemic on crowding perception in the metro rail system of Tehran found that during the outbreak, passengers valued crowded spaces more and discomfort increased, particularly when social distancing was not possible. This knowledge can help transport operators and planners maintain critical functionality of public transport systems and manage risks during and post-pandemic.

How did the COVID-19 pandemic impact traveler behavior toward public transport? The case of Athens, Greece

Athanasios Kopsidas et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 outbreak caused a significant decrease in public transport usage globally. Based on data from Athens, Greece, this study investigates the anticipated post-pandemic behavior of travelers with regards to public transport use. Results indicate that factors such as frequency of use before the pandemic, traveler age, self-employment status, and reliance on private vehicles influence the time it takes for individuals to return to using public transport.

Intensity and frequency of extreme novel epidemics

Marco Marani et al.

Summary: Observational knowledge of epidemic intensity and rate of disease outbreaks is crucial for testing theory and models, as well as informing public health risk assessment. Global historical epidemic data from 1600 to present has been compiled and analyzed using novel statistical methods to estimate yearly probabilities of extreme epidemic occurrences. The slow decay in probability with epidemic intensity reveals that extreme epidemics are relatively likely, with a potential threefold increase in occurrence probability in the future.

Transport disrupted-Substituting public transport by bike or car under Covid 19

Kerstin J. Schaefer et al.

Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the public transport sector, leading to a surge in individual car use. Women are more concerned about infection during public transport use, income positively affects increased car use, while cycling is driven by eco-consciousness rather than socioeconomic indicators. The data also shows that car use has increased among residents of Hanover city, but decreased in less densely populated urban areas.

Improving the subway attraction for the post-COVID-19 era: The role of fare-free public transport policy

Jingchen Dai et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted transportation, leading to the implementation of fare-free policies in Chinese cities like Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Xiamen to attract passengers back to public transport. While the free-ride policies had varying effects on subway ridership, they alone were not sufficient to bring ridership back to pre-pandemic levels. This study suggests that a combination of approaches is needed to increase subway attraction during the recovery phase of the pandemic.
