| Summary | "The lack of viable local public transport options does not just mean poor access to key destinations, it also leads to increased spending on other types of transport. This in turn is a key source of financial distress, stress, and anxiety. Reliance on taxis to fulfil basic transport needs and high levels of car dependency are common. Compared with local bus travel in particular, these options are often relatively more expensive, and in the case of driving, create the potential for large unforeseen costs for maintenance and epairs. Among the population groups engaged in this survey, this reinforces the risk of poverty and debt." |
