Summary: Public transport systems are crucial services for urban environments, continuously evolving to support the successful and sustainable development of cities and regions. An investigation into historical records identified various factors contributing to slip, trip and fall incidents, including stairs, ramps, escalators, train entry and exit steps, doorway areas, and passenger rushing behaviors. Conducting a field study revealed a potential cause of passenger distraction and risky behavior to be a disconnect between needed and provided information, suggesting that improvements in information design could reduce the incidence of STFs.

Summary: This study examines the willingness of university students in Thessaloniki to use shared e-scooters for intermodal trips and their attitudes towards equity and safety issues. The results show that satisfaction decreases as the distance from the city center increases and students support rules that ensure access to e-scooters for the entire population. Time, cost, and current transport modes significantly influence students' preferences for shared e-scooters. Increased perceived safety and positive attitudes towards e-scooters increase the probability of choosing the e-scooter option. The study provides insights for policies to enhance the role of shared e-scooters in urban mobility systems.

Summary: The Dutch train station operator promotes a round-trip bike-sharing scheme called 'OV-fiets', which allows users to rent bikes between train stations. This paper aims to identify temporal and weather-related factors for the demand of this bike-sharing system through multiple linear regression and in-depth analysis. The study finds that the number of train travelers leaving the station has the highest impact on the demand, followed by temporal and weather-related factors. The correlation between the factors and demand varies across stations.

Summary: The study found that, overall, there is not much difference in passengers' choice behavior between automated buses and conventional buses, but individuals are more elastic towards changes in automated bus service levels. Additionally, poor weather conditions may lower the probability of choosing an automated bus over a conventional bus. Passengers traveling for work purposes, covering long distances, or traveling with companions are more likely to choose conventional buses over automated buses.

Summary: Responses to COVID-19 altered environmental exposures and health behaviors. The study quantified changes in nitrogen dioxide (NO2), noise, physical activity, and greenspace visits and estimated the impacts on diagnoses of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, depression, and anxiety. The results showed that reductions in physical activity had the greatest impact, and to reduce cardiovascular and mental health impacts, decreases in NO2 and noise should be sustained without reducing physical activity.

Summary: When activity locations were shut down in Austria's first COVID-19 lockdown, people reduced their trips and there were significant decreases in trip rates, distances, and public transport use. The former travel time was used for additional leisure, sleep, domestic tasks, and eating during the lockdown, but only the latter two activities retained their increases in the subsequent opening phase. The lockdown resulted in the convergence of time use among socio-demographic groups with previously different patterns, but the differences reappeared in the opening phase.

Summary: This study examines the reciprocal effects of physical activities with different intensities and their effects on various health indicators. The results confirm that the reciprocal effects of physical activities are relevant to unravel the deactivation of other physical activities due to the commitments to take a specific physical activity. Moreover, ride-sourcing significantly provides greater opportunities to perform physical activities than online activities and reduces the negative health effects of vigorous physical activities at work.
