Abstract

The study is devoted to discovering potential spatial disparities of public transport (PT) accessibility during the pandemic times. Following epidemiological restrictions and huge changes in PT demand, the PT operators react by changing PT schedules. These changes are usually made in an accelerated mode and do not always take the aspects of spatial inequalities into account. We apply a methodology, based on travel time matrices, for discovering newly introduced spatial inequalities and provide empirical results for the PT system of Riga, Latvia. The obtained results provide a new dimension for monitoring the efficiency of PT schedules and allow improving the related decision-making process. The conducted analysis allowed discovering spatial disparities in PT accessibility in Riga districts, and provided evidence for practical recommendations for further decision making.
