The overall strategy vision is 'to develop safe, efficient and environmentally friendly transport'. Under the second pillar of the draft strategy which refers to 'management of road transport', there is specific reference to the particular needs of women in transport. The study took place between October and December, 2013 and comprised a review of secondary data and the collection of primary data via a questionnaire survey of public transport users in the Kathmandu valley, qualitative conversations and focus group discussions with users and non-users of public transport as well as key informant interviews with transport operators, police and relevant Government department staff and supplemented by participant observation. The questionnaire survey was carried out with 470 people (60 percent women) and qualitative conversations involved a further 165 (58 percent women). The questionnaire was administered 'in situ' as people were commuting on public transport at different times of the day and on different transport routes in and around the city.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO BICYCLESACCESS TO EMPLOYMENTAVERAGE TRAVEL TIMEBICYCLEBICYCLESBRAKINGBUS COMPANIESBUS COMPANYBUS DRIVERSBUS JOURNEYSBUS OPERATORSBUS PARKBUS SERVICESBUS STOPBUS STOPSBUS SUBSIDYBUSESCARCARSCITY BUSCLUTCHCOMMUTERSCOMMUTINGCONGESTIONCROWDED PUBLIC TRANSPORTCROWDED PUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESDESIGN OF VEHICLESDISABILITIESDRIVER COMPLIANCEDRIVINGDRIVING PUBLICFARE PRICEFARESFOOT BRIDGESFOOTBRIDGESFOOTPATHSFRAMEWORKGENDERGENDER INEQUALITIESINCOMEINJURIESINJURYINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTJOURNEYJOURNEY TIMEJOURNEYSLAMINATED GLASSMAIN ROADSMALE COLLEAGUESMEANS OF TRANSPORTMINIBUSMOBILITYMOTOR VEHICLENARROW STREETSNATIONAL TRANSPORTPASSENGERPASSENGERSPAVEMENTPEAK HOURSPEAK TRAVELPERSONAL SAFETYPERSONAL SECURITYPOLICE STATIONSPOLLUTIONPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPOTHOLESPUBLIC PERCEPTIONPUBLIC SAFETYPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORT PROVISIONPUBLIC TRANSPORT USEPUBLIC TRANSPORT USERSPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMPUBLIC VEHICLESRADIORING ROADROADROAD SAFETYROAD SPACEROAD TRANSPORTROADSROUTEROUTESSAFE DRIVINGSAFE TRANSPORTSAFETYSAFETY AUDITSSAFETY CAMPAIGNSSAFETY STANDARDSSCHOOL TRANSPORTSCOOTERSSECURITY CONCERNSSEXUAL HARASSMENTSIGNAGESIGNSSOCIAL INTERACTIONSSPEEDSPREADINGSTREET LIGHTINGSTREET LIGHTSSTREET VENDORSTAXITAXI DRIVERTAXI DRIVERSTAXISTRAFFICTRAFFIC ACCIDENTSTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC JAMSTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC REGULATIONSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT DESIGNTRANSPORT FACILITIESTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT MANAGEMENTTRANSPORT NEEDSTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT PROVISIONTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT USERSTRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENTTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTRAVEL TIMESTRAVELLERSTRIPTRIP CHAININGTRUST FUNDURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECTURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECT FINAL REPORTVEHICLEVEHICLE DESIGNVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENWALKINGWALKING DISTANCEWOMEN DRIVERSWOMEN USERSWORK TRAVEL10.1596/17872
