Abstract Background: For many people public transport is the only mode of travel, and it can be challenging to keep the necessary distances in such a restricted space. The exact role of public transportation and risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is not known. Methods: Participants (n=121 374) were untested adult Norwegian residents recruited through social media who in the spring of 2020 completed a baseline questionnaire on demographics and use of public transport. Incident cases (n=1069) had a positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction test registered at the Norwegian Messaging System for Infectious Diseases by January 27, 2021. We investigated the association between use of public transport and SARS-CoV-2 using logistic regression. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for age, calendar time, gender, municipality, smoking, income level, fitness and underlying medical conditions were estimated. Frequency of use of public transport was reported for 2 week-periods. Results: Before lockdown, those who tested positive on SARS-CoV-2 were more likely to have used public transport 1-3 times (OR =1.28, CI 1.09-1.51), 4-10 times (OR=1.49, CI 1.26-1.77) and ≥11 times (OR=1.50, CI 1.27-1.78, p for trend<0.0001) than those who had not tested positive. Conclusion: Use of public transport was positively associated with contracting SARS-CoV-2 both before and after lockdown.

RESUMENA partir de la investigación-creación “Flaubert 20 rutas” (el registro en video de diferentes intervenciones en el transporte público de Bogotá) se pone de manifiesto cómo los buses se pueden convertir en un escenario móvil para el teatro espontáneo. Este contexto da lugar a las reflexiones de una actriz, adaptadas de textos de Gustave Flaubert que tratan de la urbanidad y convivencia social en lo que él llama la buena sociedad. Se establece la identificación de un espacio escénico habitado cotidianamente por pasajeros que al mismo tiempo son personajes reconocibles del entorno urbano. Desde la óptica de una videograbadora se observa que es el propio público el que decide entrar en el juego, asumiendo y reconociendo el rol de espect-actor (Boal) de circunstancias cotidianas. Se comprueba desde una mirada irónica cómo aparecen, en estas situaciones teatrales, concomitancias antropológicas, culturales y políticas.PALABRAS CLAVESFlaubert, buses, ciudad, teatralidad, tránsito, Bogotá. KAUGSAI- PUREI- KAWACHEI: FLAUBERT SUGLLAPIKai tapuchikuna kallarreuramanda- rurakararei “ Flaubert iska chunga purei” Kaipe kawachimi imasami purrekuna autokuna Bogotape.

ABSTRACTThe project of research-creation “Flaubert 20 routes” (the video register of different interventions in public transportation in Bogota) revealed how public buses can be converted into a mobile stage for spontaneous theater. This context gives rise to the reflections of an actress, adapted from texts by Gustave Flaubert dealing with civility and social coexistence in what the he calls the good society. It is a stage inhabited daily by passengers who at the same time are recognizable characters of the urban environment. From the perspective of a video camera we observe that it is the public itself who decides to enter the game, assuming and recognizing the role of spect-actor (Boal) of everyday circumstances. From an ironic standpoint, several anthropological, cultural and political concomitances reveal themselves in these theatrical situations. t Archivo fotográfico: Cristina ALejandra JiménezKEYWORDSFlaubert, buses, city, theatricality, transit, Bogota. POLITIQUE-VILLE-THÉÂTRE: FLAUBERT ET LE THÉÂTRE SPONTANÉ RÉSUMÉLa recherche-création « Flaubert 20 routes » (enregistrement vidéo de différentes interventions dans le transport public à Bogota) a révélé comment les autobus peuvent être convertis en une scène mobile pour le théâtre spontané.

Push Factor

Prior studies have identified that enhancing a city’s walkability could be helpful in revitalizing an old, decayed or blighted downtown. While the benefits of walking are obvious and have been widely explored especially in terms of health and environment, this paper explores the potential of Machinoeki as a push factor in changing the mindset of a community about walking. A pilot survey was conducted to understand the interests of people in selecting their mode of transport and to communicate with the willingness of respondents to change their attitude by introducing facilities that can promote walking needs. To gather a collection of respondents and further to illustrate the role of Machinoeki, a simple random sampling method was used. The paper concludes that while Machinoeki has the right facilities to encourage walking, more research is needed to demonstrate the link between facilities with the community's preference for walking in town. In this analysis, however, we found that the Machinoeki components have the potential to be a push factor with respect to the positive responses of 72 percent of respondents to Machinoeki's ability to encourage walking.

Public transportation is one of the most critical needs for a city, including in Indonesia. The fast and dynamic movement of society makes public transportation expected to accommodate the needs of city residents to move more quickly and efficiently. Available public transport can also reduce congestion because many city residents are switching from their private vehicles. Many cities in Indonesia are competing to develop their public transportation to modernize the life of the town. Problems will arise if the city government does not learn from history in planning the development of public transport in the city. This study aims to examine the role of historical science in the development of urban public transportation in Indonesia. The method used in this research is descriptive-qualitative through literature review by analyzing data and information according to the topic of the research topic. The data and information are sourced from 20 journal articles and five credible online portal sites with published years between 2019-2021. The result of this study is the role of historical science in the development of urban public transportation in Indonesia as a reference for city governments to reorganize their transportation systems in the future. This research has research limitations on the development of urban public transport in Indonesia in the 21st century. The researcher recommends further research on the role and benefits of historical science in improving urban public transportation in Indonesia to complement some lacking things from this research. At the same time was adding to the scientific treasures for many people, significant position holders in city government to be more intense in using historical knowledge as an essential study to encourage a better civilization of a city by improving the public transportation system.

This study investigates the role of physical mobility in street harassment by analyzing a stratified random sample of 334 cases posted to Hollaback!, an online community documenting experiences of street harassment. Findings suggest that harassers utilize means of transportation as weapons to inflict or threaten physical harm, to escape or preserve anonymity, and to pursue targets and as a hunting ground for potential targets. By identifying the mechanisms of street harassment, we theorize how harassers negotiate mobility—particular types of mobility, especially that which is enabled by public transportation and owner vehicles—to gain advantage over targets of harassment.

With the growing interest and popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), the electrification of buses has been progressing recently. To achieve the seamless operation of electric buses (e-Buses) for public transportation, some bus stations should play the role of battery swapping station due to the limited travel range of e-Buses. In this study, we consider the problem of locating battery swapping stations for e-Buses on a passenger bus traffic network. For this purpose, we propose three integer programming models (set-covering-based model, flow-based model and path-based model) to model the problem of minimizing the number of stations needed. The models are applied and tested on the current bus routes in the Seoul metropolitan area of South Korea.

The Future

The major objective of this article is to analyze the potentials of information and communications technology (ICT) for the evolution of smart cities, with a particular focus on the challenges faced by traditional public utilities in the areas of public transportation, energy, water supply, and wastewater management due to the entry of new players originating from ICT organizations and industries. The character of virtual networks for smart cities is demonstrated based on three pillars: (1) All-IP–based real-time and adaptive broadband communication networks, (2) global navigation satellite systems and their overlay position correction networks, and (3) the interoperability of ubiquitous sensor network applications, as they form the ICT basis for a multitude of applications that are important in smart cities. The heterogeneity of virtual networks for different smart city physical network services is based on these pillars, taking into account the different requirements for the quality of service (QoS) of data packet transmission, geopositioning, and sensor networks. It can be expected that prosumer activities and resultant networked commons become increasingly relevant for the smart city of the future. However, the increasing role of prosumer activities cannot replace the role of markets in solving scarcity problems within ICT networks as well as physical networks. The role of congestion pricing and QoS differentiation for network capacities in transportation and electricity markets as well as ICT is indicated. If, due to non-rivalry in usage, efficient congestion prices are pointless, the future role of subsidies from the state is considered.
