Abstract

At the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic affected almost the entire world. It had a significant societal impact. Life in the entire society has been changed significantly in almost all areas of life. People's behavior has been also changed, as it was necessary to significantly reduce their mobility. It had a major impact on rail transport in the EU, because the reduction of the mobility has had an impact on passenger transport performance. The contribution focuses on the analysis of the impact of the pandemic COVID-19 in the field of rail passenger transport. Firstly, there are described the changes and milestones that have been implemented in practice since the beginning of the pandemic. Subsequently there are proposed operational-organizational and reconstruction measures against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in rail passenger transport. Within the proposal part, there are presented the specific levels of measures in rail passenger transport, as well as the brief procedure for passengers´ equipment in rail passenger transport in the case of the highest level of COVID-19 restrictions.
