The studies included in this special issue can be broadly categorized into three themes: (1) research focusing on transport accessibility and mobility experiences of specific population groups, including children and elderly, (2) studies employing subjective perspectives to assess accessibility; and (3) investigations exploring interventions to reduce accessibility inequalities.
