“…Trends in urban public transit are of concern because of the increased risk of transmission due to the large number of touch surfaces on which the virus can survive for several days, and also the close proximity of people in a confined, closed environment ( Musselwhite et al, 2020 , Vitrano, 2021 ). A longer-term concern about transit systems is the financial impact of reduced ridership on systems that are already challenged fiscally ( Hörcher et al, 2020 ). Overwhelmingly, this group of studies find that public transit ridership decreased during the pandemic ( Aloi et al, 2020 , de Haas et al, 2020 , Jenelius and Cebecauer, 2020 ) with understandable variations across study regions and type of system in question.…”

“…Although studies of the spread of COVID-19 in public transport vary widely in their assumptions, virus dynamics, demand or operational characteristics, many show that the virus is transmissible in public transport to some degree (Hörcher, Singh, & Graham, 2020). By reducing the contact and exposure of customers within public or shared transport it is hoped that the spread of the virus can be curtailed.…”

“…Tirachini & Cats (2020) suggest various options such as on-demand services; reserved slot booking; travel permits for specific groups; pricing management or peak spreading. Hörcher et al (2020) also summarise five management methods: (i) inflow control with queueing, (ii) time and space-dependent pricing, (iii) capacity reservation with advance booking, (iv) slot auctioning and (v) tradeable travel permit schemes. Due to individual limitations, these are likely to be more successful if several are implemented simultaneously.…”

“…We take responsibility for any remaining shortcomings. 40 See recent empirical evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on public transport demand and operations in the early assessment of Tirachini and Cats (2020), the disaggregate demand data of metro operators by the Transport Strategy Centre (2020), and a review of public transport specific epidemiological findings by Hörcher et al (2020c).
