TL;DR: In this article, a real-life, fully flexible and true door-to-door DRT experiment was conducted in the Oberharz region of Germany, where over a 6-month period around 38,000 trips took place in the region and the analysis of these trips showed that an unrestricted DRT service between three main centres (Goslar, Clausthal-Zellerfeld and Osterode) results in main travel axes between these cities while the more remote areas forfeit mobility to these centres of public service provision.

TL;DR: Using WHO’s TB and public infrastructure data, it is conservatively estimated that the symptomatic critical case rate is between 8 and 12% due to the interaction of COVID-19 and TB, for a TB population of 0.52% in South Africa.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of policy measures on the further course of the COVID-19 epidemic were analyzed from an epidemiological perspective using agent-based epidemic simulations, and the results indicated that measures that are either lifted too early or are too lenient have no sufficient mitigating effects on infection rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the minibus taxi industry in South Africa based on data from Rustenburg, a mid-sized city, to gain valuable insights into the working behaviour of minibus taxi drivers by taking an evidence-based and data-based approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of two different compensation schemes on driver behavior in Kigali using survey data from 2019 and found that drivers who are compensated by performance are more likely to alter their behavior, responding to the incentive scheme through several channels.
