Transport policies and business practices during COVID-19 and their impact on the management of new transport mobility systems – introductory part

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on global economies. Transport was a particular sector of the economy that was particularly exposed to the spread of the virus. This has led to many changes in the management and the implementation of various types of business practices in the new mobility companies during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. The work aimed to analyze the policies in the field of transport in pandemic times and the practices implemented and provided by enterprises in the field of new mobility, including companies sharing vehicles, e.g., car-sharing, bike-sharing, scooter-sharing, and ride-sharing. Furthermore, the article was used to indicate the changes that have occurred in the management of new mobility enterprises in companies operating in Asia, Europe, and America. The work is based on secondary data research and own research. The developed results indicate which operators made the most changes and which continents proposed the most changes to transport policies. The article supports the development of both new policies for the post-pandemic period and new business practices for companies in the new mobility services industry.
