dc.descriptionIn recent years, transportation has become a critical element for every income group to accomplish tasks in their day-today activities, including accessing goods and services. Transport is of great importance, especially from the perspectives of town development and securing mobility. Travel characteristics of the low income group have been the theme of consideration in many developing countries, even though much still remains to be explored. This research mainly focuses on travel characteristics of the low income group in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. The total population of Western province was Rs 7.8 Million in 2013 and the low-income group (monthly income: less than Rs. 40,000) accounts for 70% (Fig 01) of the total population (CoMTrans Study, 2014). The role of public transport is hence of great importance in providing an affordable means of transport for people with lower incomes to access goods and services.en_US
