Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic strongly impacted public transport (lockdowns, distancing measures). The relevance of pre-pandemic transport scenarios is explored by investigating how the epidemic, pandemic, or infectious (EPI) risk was addressed. This review uses a Factor Analysis of Mixed Data (FAMD) to see how EPI risk and health are discussed in transport scenarios and guidance documents. Of the 110 investigated documents (scientific and grey literature), 101 address health, with only 4 addressing the EPI risk comprehensively, 7 mentioning it directly, and 37 mentioning it indirectly. The risk is exclusively addressed as a health issue despite being recognized as a global disruptor.
