Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Covid-19 has affected the supply, demand, and image of public transport in unprecedented ways. This report aims to investigate the short- and long-term effects of Covid-19 on public transport and its funding models, with specific focus on the Swedish context. Three research questions are in focus: How does Covid-19 impact on revenues and costs for public transport? What measures have public transport agencies made in response to these challenges? How does changes or stability in public transport due to Covid-19, in the longer run impact on the possibility to reach regional political aims of sustainable transport? The research questions are approached with both quantitative and qualitative methods, including interviews and a scenario workshop with mobility actors in Sweden. The three Swedish metropolitan regions, Stockholm, Västra Götaland and Skåne, are used as cases.
