Our paper on transit design for COVID was finally published in Transportation Research Part A.   You may also read a previous post about this paper.

The idea was initially conceived at the peak of the first wave (April 2020) and the first submission to TR-A  was made later that year (November).  In this particular case, the review process was excruciatingly long. The second round alone took more than six months, and yielded  no actionable comments.  Anyway, I am glad it ended with a positive note for Hongyuan  – this was his first publication in my group.
