Six lessons from first year COVID-19 restrictions: what can we do better in the future?

Inclusive and collaborative advanced transport: are we really heading to sustainable mobility?

“…Although this Topical Collection does not include any paper that addresses the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the research on this topic was still at its early stages at the time of the submissions to the 48th ETC, it is now becoming evident that such disruptive event changed the way we live, work and commute, with effects that may last for a long time [ 38 ]. When the COVID-19 disease, caused by the new coronavirus SARS-Cov-2, was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 [ 43 ], many countries and cities around the world imposed strict lockdowns to contain the virus spread.…”

Immediate intervention and financial support from the governments to public transit authorities and operators will be critical to uphold public transport and bring it back to pre-pandemic levels.…”

The restructuring of public transport infrastructure can be used as an opportunity by starting services in low-income areas and gaining back the confidence and trust of customers who are more dependent on public transport (Susilo et al 2021). Amekudzi-Kennedy et al (2020) highlight that multimodal transportation is key in the long run.…”
