Women in SA are far less likely to have a driver’s licence than men.
According to a gender report recently released by Stats SA, only 21.8% of females possessed a driver’s licence in 2020 compared to 40.1% of males.
“Transport is critical to achieving social equity because it enables people to participate effectively in various life activities and avert potential exclusions, such as the inaccessibility of education to some learners due to a lack of a viable transportation system.” In 2020, travel patterns to educational institutions for grade R to 12 pupils revealed that more than 70% of pupils in rural areas, both male and female, were more likely to walk all the way to school. However, females in urban areas were more likely than males to ride as a passenger in a car, take a taxi, or take the bus to school.
Walking all the way to the PSET institution was the second most popular mode of transport for both males and females, while taking the train was the least popular.
