“Transport for All” became more than a slogan it was a vision still far from reality.

Transport is not merely about moving people from one point to another it is a vital enabler of opportunity, dignity, and social participation. When certain groups especially persons with disabilities, elderly ones, children, and women (including pregnant women), are excluded or encounter barriers in mobility, their access to education, employment, healthcare, and community life is severely limited. Globally, one in seven people lives with some form of disability, and about 80% of them reside in developing countries, where transport systems are often inadequately designed to accommodate their needs (UITP, 2024). Therefore, inclusive transport is not a niche concern; it lies at the heart of social equity and sustainable development.

Building a Culture of Care in Commuting

Public transport is more than a means of movement it is a shared social experience that reflects the values of community. Every day, millions of commuters enter buses, trains, ferries, or other modes of transport. In these shared spaces, the small actions of individuals can create a ripple effect that fosters kindness, respect, and inclusivity. Drawing inspiration from the principles of Unity in Motion, Community on Board, Respect on the Road, and Little Eye, Big Hearts, this article emphasizes the responsibility of commuters to build a culture of care in transit systems.
