Samenvatting

The aim of this paper is to understand the family members' perspective on women's use of public transport in Lahore, the second largest city in Pakistan. The proportion of men in Pakistan is almost equal, but women's contribution to public transport is not reflected equally and women have identified several problems in traveling by public transport. As Pakistan has a strong family structure, women's travel and other decisions are controlled by their family members. Previous studies have shown that focusing on the quality of services and transport infrastructure does not ensure that women can use public transport equally.
