Abstract
Women face many barriers to using public transport services, despite representing the largest share of public transport users around the world. Transport and infrastructure-oriented barriers are related to constraints in its affordability, acceptability and availability, as well as to the physical access to public transport. There is also a recognition that there are other non-transport-related barriers that can constrain women’s mobility, such as social norms regarding gender and other more personal elements influencing women’s agency, such as self-efficacy and aspirations.
