COVID-19 prompted a significant number of employees to shift remote work for the first time, potentially reshaping future patterns. This study examines post-COVID impacts on telecommuting, commuting behaviour, travel activities, and lifestyles in city Adelaide, South Australia. A multivariate nominal logistic regression analysis 305 post-restriction survey responses revealed that home distance from CBD, industry, occupation, income significantly influence telecommuting trends. Individuals living over 20 kilometres those professional or managerial roles, higher-income earners (>125k) are more prone regular highlighting impact commute lengths, job flexibility, financial resources ability remotely. The higher adoption post-COVID, with individuals working often each week. led reduced usage private cars public transport, indicating decrease overall frequency. Respondents also adopted flexible schedules, resulting fewer peak-hour commutes, which would have resulted lower congestion emissions sustainable practices. investigated perspectives, revealing preference 3–4 days Some respondents who initially could not telecommute since considered it feasible want adopt it. Notably, about 25% even change jobs flexible, home-based arrangements. study’s results suggest frequency may individuals’ house location preferences.

As COVID-19 slowly dissipated after 30 months since March 2020, working from home (WFH) continues to be popular, with support notable numbers of employees and employers. There is growing evidence that we have either reached, or appear close to, a level WFH − some extent might described as an equilibrium outcome going forward. Hence, there need update any travel behaviour response models been developed during the passage pandemic. This paper sets out commuter model for each day week Greater Sydney Metropolitan Area September 2022; where alternative responses are not work, WFH, commute by one ten modes available. Given probability obtained mixed logit model, construct mapping equation establish sources statistical variance origin destination locations influence incidence WFH. The used basis commenting on what this means longer-term structural changes in network performance, likely move greater focus living locally, (or otherwise) employers retain office space. A significant return has recently promoted employers, comment it mean future hybrid location model.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on people's travel behaviour and their perception of various transportation modes. This paper presents the results two cross-sectional surveys conducted in Tehran, Iran, during after pandemic. Multivariate ordered logit modelling is used to identify factors that influence usage explore interrelationships by analysing correlations among utility frequency use private car, public transportation, ride-hailing collective line taxi. Socioeconomic characteristics contribute significantly. Low-income individuals were more likely transport pandemic, whereas university students sector employees prone ride-hailing. Women tended more, especially post-pandemic period. findings suggest while, whole, has increased for all modes period, terms commuting modal share, metro gained substantially car lost. Ride-hailing proved highly resilient Tehran's mobility landscape. Correlation analysis indicated clear contrast between cars transport/collective taxis, which further heightened Although complements both it does not exhibit meaningful with car.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated cultural and organisational acceptance of remote working. For a portion the commuting workforce, working from home (WFH) is now possible. Of great interest whether increased WFH will diminish actual mobility, thereby reduce transport task cities. To understand this possibility, we must know how much be sustained into future. Using bespoke approach combining scholarly grey literature, review develops tangible record employee desires intentions to WFH, in context expectations employers. Its contribution novel rigorous appraisal recent practices sentiments. Results confirm that there strong underlying demand WFH. Many studies, however, estimate unrealistically high rates which cannot projected onto wider population. Further, find conflict between preferences their with estimations far greater than estimates expectations. This finding confirmed by analysis employer Employers broadly realise accommodating reflects best-practice approach, yet favour predictable routines where specific days on-site attendance are mandated. We conclude reflections on impact our findings system. propose commuter decision-making depends degree employers mandate attendance. Finally, emphasise need acknowledge political, economic social milieu work performed as shaping future practice.
