The occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia requires the Government to implement new policies in order to prevent transmission by imposing Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB). The decline in community mobility results in fewer customers who will use the services of transportation companies. This case certainly has an impact on the revenues and profits of transportation companies. Under these conditions, the financial position as a performance description is very important to evaluate and measure the company's financial efficiency. This study aims to determine differences in the ratios of liquidity, solvency, and profitability of transportation companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.
