“…Such restrictions could largely affect peoples’ lifestyles, social interactions, and economic conditions. In particular, the travel and outdoor activities of humans could be significantly affected ( de Haas et al, 2020 , Mogaji, 2020 ). On the other hand, fear of infection and perceived risk could also affect travel behaviors and mode choices.…”

“…On the contrary, the drop of private car usage was not so significant, at least in comparison with public transport [12]. Based on longitudinal data, de Haas et al found an 80% reduction in outdoor activities, a 55% drop in the number of trips, and a 68% drop in the distance travelled in the Netherlands [13]. Studies conducted in the United States of America identified a significant reduction in traffic volumes, reaching 80% in specific counties [14], but also a 37% decrease in driving days per week and a 35% decrease in vehicle miles driven [15].…”

“…These estimations are also supported by studies that have been already published. A study that was carried out in the Netherland points out that people are now more positive towards cars and very negative towards public transport [13]. The same study mentions that a large proportion of those working during the pandemic from home expect to do so more often in the future [13].…”

Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Bike-Sharing Usage: The Case of Thessaloniki, Greece

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect in urban mobility, while essential changes are being observed in travelers’ behavior. Travelers in many cases shifted to other transport modes, especially walking and cycling, for minimizing the risk of infection. This study attempts to investigate the impact that COVID-19 had on travelers’ perceptions towards bike-sharing systems and whether the pandemic could result in a greater or lesser share of trips that are being conducted through shared bikes. For that reason, a questionnaire survey was carried out in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece, and the responses of 223 people were analyzed statistically. The results of the analysis show that COVID-19 will not affect significantly the number of people using bike-sharing for their trips. However, for a proportion of people, bike-sharing is now more attractive. Moreover, the results indicate that bike-sharing is now more likely to become a more preferable mobility option for people who were previously commuting with private cars as passengers (not as drivers) and people who were already registered users in a bike-sharing system. The results also provide evidence about the importance of safety towards COVID-19 for engaging more users in bike-sharing, in order to provide them with a safe mobility option and contribute to the city’s resilience and sustainability.

“…However, it was not mandated to stay at home. More specifically, people were strongly advised to stay inside and work at home as much as possible, but it was not forbidden to go out and move around freely as long as a distance of 1.5m to others was maintained (de Haas et al, 2020). Group formation was not allowed and could result in a €390 fine, but surveillance did not increase significantly.…”
