The lockdown measures brought major changes to how and where we travel, and in particular, disruptions to public transport services.
Airlines suspended flights and planes were grounded worldwide. Thousands of holidays were cancelled and tourists stranded abroad were flown home on government-chartered flights.
Transport services were limited, leading to the initial overcrowding of train, bus, and underground stations and carriages. The government later advised people to avoid public transport in order to limit the risk of viral infection. However, not everyone could do so: many key workers and people who could not work from home still had to rely on public transport each day to get to and from work. These changes in mobility were captured by Google in their COVID-19 mobility reports, which are available for countries and cities globally.
