The growth of peri-urban areas is increasingly recognised as one of the dominant land use planning problems, with significance in the area of transport planning. This has necessitated the studying of travel behaviour in peri-urban areas in cities around the world. This study particularly examined the travel behaviour of households in the peri-urban areas of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. It used both primary and secondary data. The primary data were obtained through a field survey from the administration of questionnaires on household heads in the study area using a multi-stage sampling technique. Findings revealed that 21.5% of the variability in the travel behaviour among the respondents could be attributed to socioeconomic characteristics such as age, household size, and length of stay, the number of cars owned and monthly income of households. It is recommended that the socioeconomic characteristics of residents in peri-urban areas should be considered when making transport policies in the State.

This study examined the effectiveness of para-transit transport activities by identifying the socioeconomic characteristics of both the passengers and drivers of public transport and the factors confronting their operation. It utilised primary and secondary data. A purposive sampling technique was employed which entailed the identification of all the motor parks, the selection of buses, minibuses and cars at the motor parks, major bus stops and conducting a survey using a structured questionnaire cum interview. Questionnaires were administered to 354 respondents to obtain information about their socioeconomic, trip characteristics and the unconventional public transport operations, of which a total of 312 questionnaires were duly completed and returned. Data collected were analysed using simple descriptive techniques and correlation analysis. The results showed that the majority of the passengers (61.4%) were within the 21 – 30 years age bracket while 43.7% of the drivers were within the 31-40 years age bracket, the patrons and the operators of the public transport are predominantly low-income earners as large proportion of the passengers (42.1%) earned below ₦10,000 per month while 46.9% of the drivers earned between ₦10,001 and ₦20,000 per month. The results of the correlation analysis indicated both the drivers’ and passengers’ perspectives, factors such as public transport conditions, road quality and drainage system are highly correlated between their paired variables. Hence, effort should be made by the government and public transport operators to improve the transport infrastructural facilities in the study area.
