description The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the life of our cities. While we have observed major disruption to collective activity, aspects of urban life have continued. In this study, we explore the changed spatiotemporal nature of mobility demand.

We also find changes in payment methods that counter public health advice. These findings point to the fundamental mobility needs during the pandemic.
