Opis

International Perspectives on Public Transport Responses to COVID-19 examines the pandemic response of transport policymakers around the world while also analyzing how to prepare for the next epidemic or other such critical events. The book combines theoretical analysis with a compendium of country-focused case studies to provide scientific evidence and decision-making support for actions each transportation official must make going forward. Sections cover response and recovery efforts, providing insights on topics such as mitigation strategies and preparedness of the public transport sector, international case studies, and learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic for future epidemic mitigation strategies in the public transport sector. Governments, public transport authorities and operators, as well as students and researchers will learn what has and has not worked well during the COVID-19 pandemic. These insights will help them to mitigate, prepare, respond and recover from unexpected disruptive events like pandemics in the future.
