Abstract: The unexpected arrival of COVID-19 significantly affected passenger behaviour and changed travel habits. This paper aims to assess passenger mobility due to the pandemic based on an online questionnaire survey conducted in two countries, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This paper focused on evaluating the importance rate of selected factors depending on the means of transport. We describe how the most frequently used means of transport (regular travel habits) affect the degree of importance of selected factors during COVID-19, including the journey to work and school. The Likert scale measuring method involves finance, comfort, sustainability, time, and safety as decisive factors, whereas the Kruskal-Wallis test examines proposed hypotheses. We demonstrated the contingency of the importance rate and the frequently used means of transport for commuting to work or school. The questionnaire ranks time and safety among the most important variables affecting the selection of transport means.
