This paper examines the ability of conventional South African travel analysis practices to adequately analyse the travel needs of the poor. It describes the origins and nature of travel analysis practices, and observes that their scope has often been limited to motorised modes, commutes or peak periods. This limitation in analytical scope is argued to create misconceptions of the true nature travel needs and behaviour, particularly amongst low-income households. A case is made for more inclusive travel analysis practices. For the covering abstract see ITRD E116619.
