Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="ZA01A474"><span class="em">Question P-21 -- Travel to school or place of work</span><br /><br />"How does (the person) usually travel to school or to his/her place of work?"<br /><br />If more than one mode of travel, indicate the mode that covers the longest distance.<br /><br />If the person uses <span class="em">different</span> modes during the week, e.g. some days gets a lift and some days goes by minibus (also called "taxi"), s/he indicates the one that is <span class="em">most </span>frequent or is related to the longest <span class="em">distance</span> in the week.<br /><br />If the mode of travel is not listed, code 9 for "Other" should be used, e.g. horses, donkey carts. If a truck driver takes the truck home, this counts as "Other".<br /><br />The category 0 = "not applicable" is for people who do not work and are not at any educational institution. People who work at home, and live-in domestic workers, should therefore choose 1 = "on foot", because this category is for those people who work or go to school but do not use any form of transport.<br /></svar>
