dc.description.abstract | The pandemic disrupted transportation by hampering people’s daily lives, affecting people’s perception towards their (inter)personal space (IPS) while traveling. The study analyzes the change in transport behavior of commuters on six parameters which are clubbed into three aspects, i.e., transport behavior in public space, in personal space, and towards others while travelling. These aspects provide in-depth understanding of the shift in perception towards IPS while traveling prior to lockdown experiences (PLE) and with lockdown experiences (WLE) in the world’s second-most populous country. The study examines the overall change in perception towards IPS while travelling considering sanitation awareness, personal space while travelling, preference for a personal vehicle, skepticism towards public transport, attitude towards fellow passengers and blue-collar workers in the health and sanitation sector, as important contributors to shape perception in the pandemic times. The results suggest significant change in transport behavior on all three aspects affecting impression for fellow passengers as potential carriers of the virus, and poor perception of sanitation in public places. The skepticism towards public transport increased yet not the preference for personal vehicle as it is not possible for every commuter to afford one considering the effect the pandemic caused on the economic condition of people. Sanitation awareness in individuals’ IPS heightened while travelling and being in public place. The inferences highlight the need for spacious and sanitized transportation and the need for trust-building measures to restore the faith of people in public transport. A major policy reform incorporating public health concerns is required. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. | en_US |
