Household Transport in 1999 and 2000: Some Scottish Household Survey results
10 Travel to study - adults (16+) in full-time education(Table 17)
10.1 The interviewer asks each randomly-chosen adult who is in full-time education how he/she usually travels to the school, college or university which he/she attends. The results are shown in Table 17. It must be remembered that the figures are not necessarily representative of all students because the SHS covers only private households, so does not collect information about (e.g.) students living in halls of residence (see section B.2.3).
10.2 Overall, 35% of adults living in private households who were in full-time education travelled to study by bus, 31% walked, 20% went in a car or a van and 9% took a train. The table also shows how the results varied by sex, age, type of education and type of area - but they cannot be analysed in detail because the underlying sample numbers are small.
