Abstract

Abstract In the first half of 2020, the global pandemic of the COVID-19 virus became a phenomenon affecting all spheres of human life. Measures against the spread of the virus have led to restrictions in life in public spaces and have also affected the transport sector. These impacts consisted of two types - firstly, the number of connections was reduced due to a drop in transport demand, and secondly, it was necessary to comply with hygiene measures on the part of carriers and passengers. The impacts of these measures could be monitored at all spatial levels, from global to local. This paper deals with the course of the so-called first wave of the pandemic in the Czech Republic in relation to public transport and its organization. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of these measures in relation to general government regulations and their subsequent implementation at the national, regional (county) and local (selected large cities) level. Furthermore, the paper uses three case studies to show what changes long-distance domestic transport has undergone on selected routes. There was a significant reduction in the number of long-distance connections, some lines were not operated at all, and of course, all cross-border connections were canceled. The paper covers the period from the turn of February and March 2020, when the measures began to take effect, to the end of May 2020, when almost all the adopted measures were gradually relaxed. The paper concludes with a summary of the basic features of the organization of transport during the validity of the special measures, as well as areas where significant changes took place and whose consequences may persist after the pandemic subsides.
疫情期间的交通:捷克共和国及其各地区的公共交通措施
摘要2020年上半年,新冠肺炎病毒在全球范围内流行,成为影响人类生活各个领域的现象。遏制病毒传播的措施导致公共场所的生活受到限制,也影响了交通部门。这些影响包括两种类型——首先,由于运输需求下降,连接数量减少,其次,承运人和乘客必须遵守卫生措施。这些措施的影响可以在从全球到地方的所有空间层面进行监测。本文论述了捷克共和国所谓的第一波疫情与公共交通及其组织的关系。本文的目的是概述这些措施与一般政府法规及其随后在国家、地区(县)和地方(选定的大城市)层面的实施情况。此外,本文还通过三个案例研究来展示国内长途运输在选定路线上发生了什么变化。长途连接的数量大幅减少,一些线路根本没有运营,当然,所有跨境连接都被取消了。该文件涵盖了从2020年2月和3月初措施开始生效到2020年5月底几乎所有已采取的措施都逐渐放松的这段时间。论文最后总结了特别措施有效期内运输组织的基本特征,以及发生重大变化的领域,以及在疫情消退后其后果可能持续的领域。
