Inequalities in transport and their impact on society

摘要

Investments made in transport do not always benefit people across the board, says David Banister, who points out that differences in travel habits between the richest and poorest are getting wider. Introduction. Everyone requires transport to move around and access everyday needs, but for each individual those needs are different, and they change over time. There are inequalities in transport, but the question here is whether the nature and scale of those inequalities are increasing or decreasing, and whether those inequalities materially affect a persons quality of life.
