Best Practice in City Public Transport Authorities’ Responses to COVID-19
The lockdowns, sharp fall in economic activity, and perceived fear that use of public transport may increase the probability of infection, or even official advice not to use public transport, have all led to considerable and speedy falls in its use in cities worldwide. Cities in Bulgaria do not seem to be an exception to that. This Note covers the issues around this challenge, with its core being how best to support the Safe and sustainable continuance of urban public transport. The fundamental principles of the Public Transport Management Response and Communication around the Pandemic are central here. The Note also covers the issue of how best to resume Full Public Transport operation but in the context of Sustainable mobility at the city’s heart. Another area covered is how to exploit Digital technology and ‘Smart’ infrastructure to monitor and to help control the spread and withering of the Pandemic. Lastly there are some specific take-aways from global Best Practice for cities in Bulgaria.
