Public Transport during the Covid-19 Pandemic Public Transport and Sustainable Mobility (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the impact of COVID-19 on public transport systems in India and the associated challenges of social distancing during peak travel times. It highlights the conflict between the necessity of public transport for urban mobility and the need for measures to prevent virus spread. The authors propose a shift toward sustainable mobility through local connectivity and reduced reliance on hypermobility. They advocate for evidence-driven policy interventions that incorporate behavioral economics concepts, such as nudges, to improve transport-related decision-making.
