abstract: 'Background and Objectives Buses are the most common form of public
transport for older adults in developing countries. With over 37\% of
total trips, buses are the principal mode of transport in Dhaka. The
majority of older adults are dependent on buses because of their
affordability relative to other modes such as auto-rickshaws,
rideshares, and taxis. This study aims to investigate key barriers in
accessing buses in Dhaka and the consequences of these barriers to the
everyday mobility of older adults. Research Design and Methods Thirty
participants aged 60 and older were recruited from 2 socioeconomically
different neighborhoods in Dhaka. We employed a thematic analysis of
visual surveys and in-depth interviews to understand older adults''
spatial and cultural context and their experiences using buses in their
everyday lives. Results Boarding and deboarding buses were common
barriers for older adults due to overcrowding and traffic congestion. In
addition, older adults faced challenges such as ageism, gender
discrimination, and undesirable behavior by transport personnel and
co-passengers. These barriers affected their independent mobility and
influenced their access to work and social life, contributing to their
social exclusion. Discussion and Implications This study illustrates the
challenges faced by older adults when accessing public transport and the
need to improve access to work, health care, and social life. Inclusive
transport policies are essential in low- and middle-income countries to
improve the well-being of older adults.'
