A Study On The Private Bus Industry Before And After COVID19 With Special Reference To Ernakulam District.

Abstract

Every aspect of human existence has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in widespread suffering irrespective of age, gender, profession, degree of education, or nationality. Numerous sectors have been severely affected, including banking, food manufacturing, public transportation, and education. With activities suspended during lockdowns, the public transportation industry has suffered the most out of all of them. Bus workers have become unemployed as a result of the significant losses experienced by private bus operators. Additionally, many workers had health and safety issues that neither the government nor the companies did enough to address. This study is an attempt to know the problems faced by the private bus industry of Ernakulam District before and after COVID-19 and to suggest measures to overcome the crisis.
