“…NYC was also one of the cities with the most COVID-19 cases in 2020. While the ridership of the subway witnessed a significant drop ( Wang et al, 2021 ) amid the early stage of the epidemic, we hope to understand how a safe and effective management policy can help achieve a good trade-off between risk mitigation and mobility.…”

reported in literature varies from 0.17 to 0.8 ( Yang et al, 2020 , Prem et al, 2020 , Lauer et al, 2020 , Wang et al, 2021 ) because of inaccurate data sources and the social distancing effect. We test the sensitivity of objective function in Eq.…”

“…This work focuses on the recurring commuting trips, which account for 79% of all transit trips in the United States (including work and school trips) ( Lee and Hickman, 2014 ). Commuting remains the primary demand for traveling during the epidemic period and revives rapidly in reopening the economy ( Wang et al, 2021 , Hu et al, 2020 ).…”

“…A common concern is that the traveling behavior may shift away from public transit systems because of the epidemic outbreak ( Wang et al, 2021 ), and the government’s disease control plans, such as reducing the public transit service time or alternative seating, exacerbate this trend. In addition, travelers may switch to a different mode, take a different route, or follow different schedules to avoid contacting potentially infectious population.…”

“…During the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, many governments around the world, including that of Malaysia, enacted nonmedicinal interventions such as "stay-at-home" orders and travel restrictions to prevent population mobility, including closing international borders and airports; closing schools, offices, shops, and restaurants; instituting work-from-home policies; and canceling mass gatherings [2,17,[21][22][23][24]. As a result, the enacted policies have resulted in the closure of many public services, retail businesses, and tourism activities, which has had a significant impact on the economic activities of many countries around the world, and has in turn significantly changed people's travel behavior [25][26][27][28].…”

et al. 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in new postpandemic travel patterns as a result of the stay-at-home policies and restricted movement orders imposed by the Malaysian government. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in individual travel behavior after the government imposed a series of lockdowns, also known as movement control orders (MCO). From March to April 2021, a questionnaire survey was distributed throughout Malaysia, and 435 complete responses were collected. Results indicated that the respondents predominantly chose private cars for various traveling purposes during the pandemic. When choosing a travel mode during the pandemic, married respondents and essential workers placed a significantly higher priority on pandemic-related - items such as cleanliness, infection concern, social distance, and wearing face masks, compared to single respondents and nonessential workers. Binary logistic regression models were developed to estimate individuals’ propensity to make trips for different purposes, i.e., work/study, social activities, recreational activities, and religious activities. Results indicated that essential workers were nearly three times more likely than the general population to make a work trip during the pandemic. Regarding social and recreational trips, males were more likely to make such types of trips as compared to females. Furthermore, those who perceived a higher risk of infection were less likely to make social and recreational trips. Regarding religious trips, males were significantly more likely to make such trips during the pandemic as compared to females. In addition, Muslims had significantly higher odds of making a trip for religious purposes during the pandemic. The findings of this study could be useful in transportation planning when considering travel restrictions during pandemics based on peoples’ travel purposes and mode choices.

Since the beginning of 2020, the world has been hit by the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus that causes Covid‐19. To hamper its spread, policymakers of many countries have put in place strong countermeasures, including lockdowns, that have led to significant changes in people's lifestyles and daily routines. This article aims at assessing the changes caused by Covid‐19 in sustainable consumer behavior under multiple perspectives, contributing to advance knowledge at the intersection between consumer dynamics and sustainable consumer behavior literature. A survey was conducted on 1.535 Italian consumers between December 2020 and February 2021. Respondents were asked to assess the extent to which their consumption behavior—purchase frequency, willingness to pay a premium price, sense of moral duty to purchase, social influence to purchase—related to several categories of sustainable products changed due to the pandemic, as well as the extent to which the pandemic impacted on many other aspects, including their environmental awareness, concern, and habits. Results show that Covid‐19 generated relevant changes. Consumers have increased their purchase frequency and willingness to pay for sustainable products, show growing attention to environmental issues, and behave more sustainably. Further, the extent of change is strongly affected by socio‐demographic variables, such as gender, age, income, and education. For instance, women reported a higher shift towards sustainable consumption and behavior than men. Understanding these changes is important to guide marketers and policymakers to respond promptly and effectively to them and to leverage on them to foster a transition towards a more sustainable society.
