“…On the other hand, the active modes of transportation, including bicycles, walking remains less attractive due to the limited availability of facilitating conditions (e.g., public shared bicycle programs, infrastructure, and pedestrians' facilities) in developing countries like Pakistan. During the COVID-19 peak in Taipei, Taiwan, a decrease in metro ridership was associated with the metro stations connected to night markets, shopping centers, or colleges ( Chang et al, 2021 ). The local travel volumes in Hong Kong was also decreased for shopping ( Zhang et al, 2021 ).…”

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely disturbing mobility behavior due to travel restrictions and perceived COVID-19 threats. Recently, researchers from developed countries have shown interest in quantifying the impacts of the COVID-19 on individuals' mobility; however, similar research themes in lower income developing countries like Pakistan have not been sufficiently explored. Therefore, the objectives of the study are; 1) to explore the changes in self-reported individual's mobility behavior—trip frequencies by mode and by purpose in three COVID-19 severity periods; 2) to quantify the effects of respondents' personal (i.e., age, gender, education, and living place), and perceived details (i.e., safety perceptions, the COVID-19 threat perceptions) on the change in mobility behavior in the COVID-19 severity change; 3) to analyze the willingness to use public transportation in the post-pandemic period. Methods: A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted from September 2020 to November 2020, resulting in 565 responses. Descriptive analysis, random parameter bivariate probit modeling, and structural equation modeling are adopted to achieve the objectives. Results: The results reflect the change in individuals' mobility behavior in three severity periods of COVID-19, including before outbreak, during the most serious period, and after the most serious period. A substantial reduction in individuals' mobility was observed during the most serious period, which is recovering back to normal. The results also indicate the relationship of individuals' personal and perceived characteristics with the change in mobility in COVID-19 severity changes from before-to-serious and from the serious-to-after most serious period. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting individuals' mobility behavior in Pakistan. The study's findings provide insightful information for the transportation agencies to better prepare for sustainable transportation management in the post-pandemic era.

“…Other studies have focused on public transit using actual volume data as public transit, representing collective transportation modes, is more vulnerable than other modes to the spread of pandemics. The studies have analyzed the impacts of COVID-19 on public transit at the national level ( Coelho et al, 2020 ), city level ( Jenelius and Cebecauer, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2020 ), and station level ( Brough et al, 2020 ; Chang et al, 2021 ), confirming a significant decline in ridership volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a further approach, some researchers have tested the involvement of neighborhood attributes in the impacts of COVID-19 on public transit ( Brough et al, 2020 ; Chang et al, 2021 ; Coelho et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2020 ).…”

Studies analyzing other pandemics, such as SARS and MERS, have also considered changes in public transit ridership and verified pandemic impacts ( Howland et al, 2020 ; Kim et al, 2017 ; Wang, 2014 ).…”

This study aimed to explore the impacts of COVID-19 on car and bus usage and their relationships with land use and land price. Large-scale trip data of car and bus usage in Daejeon, South Korea, were tested. We made a trip-chain-level data set to analyze travel behavior based on activity-based travel volumes. Hexagonal cells were used to capture geographical explanatory variables, and a mixed-effect regression model was adopted to determine the impacts of COVID-19. The modeling outcomes demonstrated behavioral differences between associated with using cars and buses amid the pandemic. People responded to the pandemic by reducing their trips more intensively during the daytime and weekends. Moreover, they avoided crowded or shared spaces by reducing bus trips and trips toward commercial areas. In terms of social equity, trips of people living in wealthier areas decreased more than those of people living in lower-priced areas, especially trips by buses. The findings contribute to the previous literature by adding a fundamental reference for the different impacts of pandemics on two universal transportation modes.

“…Since the onset of the pandemic, a rich literature has emerged regarding the impact of this catastrophic incident on transport networks and operations. Initial research highlighted the impact of the pandemic on local networks, most notably on public transport and leisure travel ( De Vos, 2020 , Borkowski et al, 2021 , Chang et al, 2021 , Wang et al, 2021 ). As the pandemic spread across international boundaries, research started to focus on the passenger and cargo air transport industries (e.g., Bombelli, 2020 , Sobieralski, 2020 , Suau-Sanchez et al, 2020 ).…”

Catastrophic incidents can significantly disrupt supply chains, but most of these disruptions remain localized. It was not until the onset of COVID-19 that a disruption in our lifetimes achieved a global magnitude. In order to contain the pandemic, governments around the world resorted to closing borders, shutting down manufacturing plants, and imposing lockdowns, which resulted in disrupted production capabilities and weakened consumer spending. The effects of these measures have been clearly visible in global transport networks, where disruptions ripple through the system and serve as a precursor to the disruptions in the broader economy. In this study, we use liner shipping schedule cancellations, a form of serious transport network disruption, as distress signals of the pandemic's impact on global supply chains. Our study applies a three-stage approach and provides insights into operator behaviors when under distress. We show that the pandemic challenged service network integrity and that network disruptions first clustered in Asia before rippling along main trade routes. Agile liner shipping operations, aided by planned service suspensions, prevented the collapse of the global maritime transport networks and indicated the maritime industry's ability to withstand even major catastrophic incidents.
