To　examine　the　bus　travel　behaviour　of　the　elderly　in　the　context　of　the　COVID-19　pandemic,　this　study　analysed　the　mechanisms　influencing　the　elderly’s　risk　perceptions　regarding　behavioural　intention　towards　bus　travel　whilst　focusing　on　the　normalisation　stage　of　pandemic　prevention　and　control.　Based　on　the　theory　of　planned　behaviour,　a　structural　equation　model　of　the　elderly’s　bus　travel　intention　was　constructed.　The　interactions　among　six　factors—including　attitudes,　subjective　norms,　perceived　behavioural　control,　cognitive　risk　perception,　affective　risk　perception　and　the　behavioural　intention　of　the　elderly’s　bus　travel—were　quantitatively　analysed.　Valid　sample　data　were　used　for　empirical　research.　The　results　of　this　study　show　that　perceived　behavioural　control,　attitudes　and　subjective　norms　have　a　significant　positive　impact　on　the　behavioural　intentions　of　the　elderly’s　bus　travel　during　the　normalisation　stage　of　pandemic　prevention　and　control,　with　perceived　behavioural　control　being　the　most　influential　factor.　Moreover,　perceived　behavioural　control　also　has　a　significant　positive　impact　on　attitudes,　which　indirectly　influences　behavioural　intention.　Cognitive　risk　perception　has　a　direct　and　significant　negative　impact　on　attitudes,　perceived　behavioural　control　and　subjective　norms;　however,　affective　risk　perception　only　has　a　significant　negative　impact　on　subjective　norms.　Additionally,　there　is　a　positive　correlation　between　the　two,　with　both　indirectly　and　negatively　influencing　the　behavioural　intentions　of　the　elderly’s　bus　travel.　This　study　can　provide　a　basis　for　the　formulation　and　improvement　of　pandemic　prevention　measures　for　bus　travel　during　the　normalisation　stage　of　pandemic　prevention　and　control　to　safeguard　the　elderly’s　bus　travel　rights　©　This　open　access　article　is　published　under　a　Creative　Commons　[Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives　4.0　International]　license.　https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
