Abstract

This article stems from a report for the Commission for Integrated Transport and uses a wide range of census and survey data to analyse the problem of transport in rural areas. These areas subdivide into different categories, some being more urbanized than others, and it is in the least urbanized of them that one finds the greatest degree of car dependency. For the rural poor, this can mean a severe strain on the household budget.
