Pupils lose their footings

17 October 2007

Fewer Scottish pupils are walking to school and more are going by car, according to Scotland’s latest household transport survey.

The Scottish Government survey found 51% of children walked to school last year, down from 55% in 1999, while going by car rose from 18 to 22%.

Also, driving to work had increased from 55 to 66% since 1999, and getting a lift had fallen from 12 to 7%. However, local bus use had risen from 41 to 44% since 2002, and more people said there were at least five buses an hour – 23% of respondents compared with 20% in 1999.
