“…In Brazil, people with high income were more likely to be able to afford a costly international trip to countries like Italy at the beginning of COVID-19, leading to higher infection rates in high-income areas ( de Magalhaes et al, 2020 ). However, a study in Texas suggested that people with higher income have less outdoor mobility than lower-income individuals, thus they have a lower rate of contracting the coronavirus ( Iio et al, 2021 ). Secondly, the physical condition of people, combining the interactions of age, race and comorbidity, is crucial for identifying COVID-19 vulnerable groups ( Calderon-Larranaga et al, 2020 ) .…”

“…By 19 August 2021, 209,201,939 cases and 4,390,467 deaths had been confirmed worldwide ( WHO, 2021 ). The COVID-19 crisis has resulted in a range of policies and measures aimed at controlling the virus, such as lockdowns, social distancing, school closures and quarantining, severely restricting travel and many other activities globally ( Budd and Ison, 2020 , De Vos, 2020 , Dzisi and Dei, 2020 , Ferguson et al, 2020 , Iio et al, 2021 , Kim, 2021 ).…”

During the COVID-19 crisis, a series of measures were taken to restrict travel and social activities outside the home in order to curb the pandemic and ameliorate its negative effects. These unprecedented measures have had a profound impact on the number and purposes of trips and modes of travel. In China, although the pandemic is now generally under control and transport availability has returned to nearly normal, the extent of the changes in travel behaviour wrought during and after the pandemic still remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the differences in individual travel behaviours during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, using Huzhou as an example. Semi-structured interviews were used to examine the influence of COVID-19 on the travel behaviour and perceptions of different groups. The results indicate that, initially, travel demand was greatly reduced. Second, decreased travel reduced participation in activities, which can have adverse effects on people’s health as well as their subjective well-being. Third, the degree and duration of such impacts varied from person to person. Students, lower income cohorts, groups living in small communities with insufficient green spaces, and those working in tourism, catering, informal businesses and transport-related sectors were more vulnerable than others. Policymakers, urban and transport planners should therefore pay attention to the social inequities that arise from unequal access to transport and heterogeneity between individuals. Additionally, public transport systems require further development to promote social cohesion.
