Restriction of Mobility Due to Follow-Up Measures Caused by COVID-19

Abstract

The unexpected arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the normal course of traffic. Public transport authorities were forced to face this situation and come up with solutions to ensure basic transport services. With the worsening epidemiological situation, the demands of the passengers themselves also changed. The mandated government measures were intended to mitigate the risk of infection in order to ensure the necessary mobility. The difficulty of implementing the measures required a quick response. Due to the constantly changing situation, the crisis team met to guide specific procedures to ensure the necessary mobility and ensure basic transport service. This article deals with the evaluation of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and government measures from the perspective of transport service providers. It aims to outline the most important areas that had an impact on mobility. The results of this article can be used in further in-depth research and applied in the next wave of the pandemic.
