"Given the importance of understanding and measuring household expenditure on public transport, Report No. 03-20-11, Measuring household expenditure on public transport: In-depth analysis of the National Household Travel Survey 2013 data: Technical report aims to:

  • Discuss and explore a method to derive and impute total monthly household income for households who did not provide their household income information
  • Provide a profile of public transport users
  • Assess the level of affordability of public transport
  • Provide a visual representation of public transport users across different geographical locations with regard to the level of affordability of public transport. 

The National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) 2013, the General Household Survey (GHS) 2013, 2010/11 Income and Expenditure Survey and Census 2011 were used in this report to explore and enrich insights on household expenditure on transport."
