Abstract: This paper explains how the coronavirus pandemic affects the transportation sector. Transportation and Supply Chain are two integrated activities, which give all of us an unending opportunity to share ideas, knowledge, resources of any kind and interact with other people having different religious, ethnic, and cultural background. The coronavirus pandemic has impacted immensely to transportation and supply chain activities as they were linked with world economy directly. These impacts of coronavirus pandemic have come suddenly like a nightmare to all the transportation industries and supply chain activities ranging from manufacturing, logistics and service providers. Therefore, countries have to work together and formulate a long-lasting solution that will allow the transportation industries to resume back working. The solution may differ depending on the country’s capability in terms of technology, security, economy, and population. Transport and supply chain policymakers must act promptly to respond by a rapid repercussion and adjustment that will significantly impact on the reviving transportation, logistics and tourism industries in the world to avoid future loss of benefits generated by these sectors to the society.
