The restrictive measures taken in response to the COVІD-19 pandemic have caused a sudden mass change in the behavior of people around the world regarding travel. Its long-term changes in how we use transport can be made. Accordingly, the authorities responsible for the organization of traffic should begin to respond to these changes before new habits of a move of passengers are formed.
To detect changes in passenger behavior in 2021, data collection was conducted through of which it is possible to find out how in each geographical region the frequency of visits to places such as grocery stores, parks, museums, libraries, cinemas, markets, places of work, etc. That information was collected from users who included a history of locations on their smartphones. Data for analysis was presented by Google for free access. The analysis of these empirical data provides a quantitative assessment of the huge malfunction in passenger trips. Which is characterized by the significant reduction in the frequency of travel by public transport due to the most likely spread of the virus. In many countries, the fear of people getting infected encourages them to abandon public transport in favor of modes of transport that provide minimal contact with other people.
Since the analysis of statistical information from Google received from mobile phones gives a general picture and doesn't allow to study motivation of people concerning their travel and choice of transport this research carried out a remote survey of the population by means of modern methods of questioning, such as Google forms. According to the results of this survey, it was found that in Ukraine most students and pupils have moved to a remote form of study. Also, from the survey, it is evident that the majority of people did not stop using public transport several times a day, while the use of individual transport also increased. In third place traditionally, people walk. Also answers to questions about the cost and time of travel indicate their increase, which also indicates deterioration of transport service of the population at increased cost.
