Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Interviewer instructions
This question will be used to measure daytime movements of the population, and may be used to indicate the need for improved transportation facilities. (Similar questions are asked in a later section about place and method of travel to work).
Note that what is required is the main method of travel (therefore only one method is to be shaded). Here the main method is the one used most often. If more than one method is used regularly, ask the respondent to indicate which one he/she would select as “main”. DO NOT include “walk” if the person merely walks to get a bus or taxi. Note that students using the bus as the main means of travel to school should only shade option 5 Government School bus.
