The paper details the pandemic's short to long-term effects on provincial household travel habits.
Busisiwe Marole, a CSIR researcher, discussed some Gauteng household travel survey results with Radio Islam International.
According to the poll, which was done using a questionnaire, there has been a general drop in work-related travel, especially when using a personal vehicle.
Marole claims that this results from a work-from-home policy established during the outbreak.
Naturally, there was a minor rise in travel for medical reasons.
Findings indicate a 6% decrease in trip volumes during the typical morning peak hours of 6 to 9 a.m.
She went on to say that the findings also showed that there had been no changes to shopping excursions, educational trips, or non-motorised transportation.
Seems a little quiet over here
