| Abstract | In recent years there have been requirements for an environment that can enhance the safety, comfort and convenience of travel of school children and their use of public transport in particular. The data of the Household Visit Survey (HVS) collected in Western Province, Sri Lanka in 2013 are used to analyse the travel behaviour pattern of school children with a view to provide guidelines for policy makers to respond to the current and future needs of children and their families. This paper systematically examines the differences of young transportation users’ travel behaviour according to three groups by age (5-9, 10-14 and 15-18), based on their higher physical and cognitive ability to navigate the transport system as they grow older. |
