Chapter 11 - Personal and Cross modal

1. Introduction

1.1 This chapter previously included information from the National Travel Survey (NTS). However, Scottish data are no longer collected in the NTS, estimates for Scotland from the NTS are available in previous editions of this publication. This chapter now focuses on estimates derived mainly from the Scottish Household Survey (SHS), findings from others sources are marked as such within the text.

1.2 The SHS is a sample survey and provide person-based cross-modal information, in contrast to most of the earlier chapters, which tend to be based on particular modes of transport. The SHS also includes a travel diary that asks respondents for information about the journeys they made on the previous day, including information on the duration, distance, purpose and mode of travel. More information and further tables covering transport findings from the Scottish Household Survey can be found in Transport and Travel in Scotland: http://bit.ly/2qbgypZ

1.3 In this edition of STS we have also presented relevant information on travel behaviours collected from the 2011 census as previously published by the National Records of Scotland. More information about the sources used can be found in the Sources section on page 225.

Over the period that the 2020 Scottish Household Survey was being conducted (October 2020 and January – March 2021) people in Scotland were subject to restrictions on travel and daily activity.

Most notably, this included the 'second lockdown', which ran from 5 January 2021 to April 2021, and incorporated a legal requirement forbidding anyone from leaving their home except for essential purposes.

Some of the survey questions were last asked in 2019.

Key points

  • 69% of people had travelled the previous day when asked as part of the 2021 Scottish Household Survey.
  • Of the 313 million public transport journeys made in 2021, 81 per cent were by bus, 15 per cent were journeys by rail, air accounts for 2 per cent and ferries 2 per cent.
  • Twenty seven per cent of journeys to work and 77 per cent of journeys to school are by public and active travel.

2. Main Points

Trips

2.1 In the 2021 Scottish Household Survey 69% of people reported having travelled the previous day.

2.2 As in previous years, the car was the most popular mode of transport for journeys made in 2021, with 50% of journeys made as a car driver.

2.3 Sixteen per cent of adults used the bus at least once per week in 2021, whereas only 3% used the train. The gap was less for usage over the past month, with 29% using a bus compared to 26% for the train.

Distance travelled

2.4 In 2021, most journeys tended to be over short distances, with 19% of all journeys being under 1 km long and a further 25% between 1 and 3 km. The average (median) journey distance in 2020 was 3.8 km.

2.5 The average (median) walking journey was 1.1 km in length in 2021. Car journeys tended to be over greater distances, with a median car driver journey of 6.6 km.

2.6 In 2021, shopping (24%) and going to work (16%) were the most frequent journey purposes.

Duration travelled

2.7 In terms of time, most journeys in 2021 (66%) lasted for less than 20 minutes. Only 5% of journeys lasted more than an hour.

Car access

2.8 Adults in households with more cars were more likely to have travelled the previous day – in 2021, 56% of adults living in households with no cars normally available travelled the previous day, compared to 74% of adults with two or more cars.

Car driving by adults increased with an increase in car availability. Where no car was normally available, 2% of adults' journeys were as a driver of a car, compared to 52% where one car was available, and 62% where two or more cars were available.

2.9 Adults in households with no car access made a far higher proportion of their journeys by public and active travel in 2021. Where no cars were available there was a far higher proportion of journeys by foot: 56%, compared to 30% where one car was available and 22% where there were two or more cars. The proportion of trips by bus was also considerably higher for adults in households with no car: 18%, compared to 3% for those with one car and 2% for those with at least two cars.

Driving

2.10 The Scottish Household Survey (SHS) provides information about how often people aged 17 or over drive. In 2021, 36% of men, 32% of women and 34% of all people aged 17+ said that they drove every day. A further 36% stated they drove at least once a week (but not every day), 3% drove less frequently, 4% had a full driving licence but never drove, and 23% did not have a full driving licence. (Table 11.10)

2.12 The frequency of driving varied with age. In 2021, 42% of people aged 40 to 49 said they drove every day. As age rises this falls (to 15% for people aged 80 and over). The frequency of driving also varied with the annual net income of the household. Thirty nine percent of people aged 17+ living in households with an annual net income of £50,000 or more said they drove every day, compared with 21 percent of those living in households with an annual net income of up to £10,000. Over a quarter (29%) of people aged 17+ in large urban areas drove every day compared to 36% in 'remote rural' areas. (Table 11.10)

Walking

2.13 In 2021, 67% of adults made a journey of more than a quarter of a mile by foot to go somewhere in the last seven days – the second highest proportion seen in the last decade. Young adults (aged 16-19) were the most likely to have walked to go somewhere (74%), compared with 65% of those aged 50-59. Adults aged over 80 were the lowest at 42% (Tables 11.11 & 11.13)

2.14 In 2021, 74% of adults said that they had walked for pleasure or to keep fit at least once in the last seven days – the highest in recent times. There was some variation with age: the percentage was highest for those aged 30-39 (82%) and lowest for those aged 80 or above (80%). There was less variation with household income, although those with net annual incomes of over £30,000 were more likely than those with lower incomes. (Tables 11.11 & 11.13)

Travel to Work (SHS data)

2.16 The SHS shows that 40% of employed adults worked from home in 2021. Seventy six percent of self-employed people worked from home, though this is based on a relatively small sample size and therefore may be subject to larger confidence intervals than in previous years. (Tables 11.17 & 11.21)

2.17 Overall, the SHS found that the majority (71%) of employed adults who did not work from home travelled to work by car or van (as either the driver or as a passenger) in 2021. This percentage tended to increase with age (20-39: 69%, Over 40: around 72% to 76%), type of employment (64% of those who work part-time, compared to 72% for full-time) and annual net household income (rising to 75% of those in the £50,000+ band). (Table 11.18)

2.18 Other usual means of travel to work were: walking (12%); bus (7%); rail (4%); bicycle (4%) and other modes (2%). Use of such modes of transport also varied. For example: in general, the greater the income of the household, the less likely a person was to walk or use the bus to travel to work; the percentage who walked to work was highest in small remote towns (20%) and the percentage who commuted by bus was highest in large urban areas (11%). (Tables 11.18 & 11.22)

Travel To Work (non-SHS data)

2.19 Other data sources show a similar pattern to the Scottish Household Survey data and also enable comparison with the rest of Great Britain.

2.20 Labour Force Survey results suggest that, between 2011 and 2021, there has been little change in the percentage for whom a car or a van is the usual means of travel to work (68% in both 2011 and 2021). There was little change to walking which was 12% in 2011 and 14% in 2021. People who work at home are excluded from these figures. These figures are similar to the findings from the SHS shown in table 11.18. (Table 11.14)

2.21 There appears to have been little change in recent years in the average times taken to travel to work by the main modes of transport (in 2021: 22 minutes by car; 43 minutes by bus and 15 minutes by foot). (Table 11.15 b)

2.22 The Scottish Census 2011 showed 2.4 million people aged between 16 and 74 in employment, excluding full-time students. 11% of these worked mainly from home. Of the remaining 2.1 million people, 36% had a journey of under 5 km to work, 43% had a journey of between 5 km and 30 km to work and 8% travelled 30 km or more to work. The remaining 12% had no fixed place of work, worked offshore or worked outside the UK. (Table 11.31).

2.23 Information about travel to work has been collected in population censuses since 1966. Excluding those that worked at home, the percentage of the working population using cars to travel to work had increased from 21% in 1966 to 69% in 2011 and the percentage using buses had fallen from 43% in 1966 to 11% in 2011. There had also been a significant fall in the proportion of the working population who walk to work, from 24% in 1966 to 11% in 2011. (Table 11.16)

2.24 The 2011 Census showed that the distance of people's journey to work tended to vary with their access to cars or vans. Seventy-four per cent of people living in households with no car or van available had a commute of fewer than 10 km, compared with 60 per cent of those in households with one car or van available and 47 per cent of those in households with two or more cars or vans available. Conversely, the proportion of people who travelled 30 km or more to work was higher for people in households with two or more cars or vans available (10 per cent) than for those in households with one car or van available (7 per cent) or with no cars or vans available (4 per cent). (Table 11.33)

Travel to School

2.25 In 2021, 54% of children in full-time education at school usually walked to school, 19% usually went by bus, 22% by car or van, 2% cycled. There was little difference between the sexes, but varied greatly with age: 65% of primary school age pupils (those aged up to 11) usually walked to school compared with only 42% of those of secondary school age (those aged 12 and over); 25% of primary pupils went by car or van compared with only 18% of secondary pupils; and only 6% of primary pupils usually travelled by bus compared with 36% of those of secondary age. (Table 11.19)

2.26 Those usually travelling by car/van tended to rise with household income, to around 27% of pupils from households with an annual net income between £25,000 and £40,000, reflecting patterns seen elsewhere in this chapter e.g. travel to work and car use more generally. Walking to school was lowest (26%) in remote rural areas. The Sustrans Hands Up Scotland Survey shows similar findings. (Tables 11.19, 11.23 & 11.23a)

2.27 According to the 2011 Scottish Census, 88% of children aged between 4 and 11 travelled less than 5 km to school, including 72% who travelled less than 2 km. 51% of those aged over 18 travelled less than 5 km to their place of study. 430,000 people of any age travelled under 2 km to their place of study, with 73% of these people travelling by foot, 6% travelling by bus and 17% as a passenger in a car or van. Of the 428,000 people who travelled 2 km or more to their place of study, 31 per cent did so as a car driver or passenger, 43 per cent travelled by bus and 7 per cent travelled by train. (Table 11.34 & 11.35)

Travel Abroad

2.28 The International Passenger Survey (IPS) estimates provided for 2021 should be treated with caution as the numbers are much smaller than pre-coronavirus pandemic years, especially the first six months of the year, resulting in some cases with larger confidence intervals. According to the survey, Scottish residents made an estimated 965,000 visits abroad in 2021 with 932,000 visits (97%) being made by air. Edinburgh was the main airport used and accounted for about 482,000 visits (50% of all visits abroad), followed by Glasgow (234,000 or 24%), Aberdeen (23,000 or 2%). Around 23,000 visits abroad (2%) were made by sea. Figures for the Channel Tunnel were not available. (Table 11.24)

2.29 Around 53% of Scottish residents' visits abroad were made for holiday purposes. Of these, 202,000 (21%) were on a package holiday whilst the rest travelled independently. There were 334,000 (35%) visits abroad to visit friends or relatives and 79,000 visits abroad for business purposes (8%). (Table 11.24)

2.30 Forty seven per cent (449,000) of Scottish residents' visits abroad were made to EU countries and visits to other European areas totalled 5,000 (0.5%). Visits to Canada and the USA together totalled about 31,000 (3%). (Table 11.25)

2.31 The estimated number of visits abroad by Scottish residents rose from 4.2 million in 2004 to a peak of 4.8 million in 2008, a rise of 14%. There were then increases(apart from 2013) in the numbers each year from 2010 until 2019, an increase of 41%. Between 2005 and 2008 there was a decline in the number of package holidays, although since 2009 the trend has been upwards . Those travelling independently has generally increased as well. Other holidays increased by 14% between 2009 and 2019. There was also a large increase in the number of visits to friends and relatives over the same period, with numbers doubling between 2009 and 2018 and falling 23% between 2018 and 2019. Some of the apparent year-to-year changes may be due to sampling variability, however, the general trends reflect patterns described elsewhere in this publication. (Table 11.26)

Transport Model for Scotland

2.32 Information on travel between different parts of Scotland is available from the Transport Model for Scotland (TMfS). The base year of TMfS is 2018.

2.33 It is estimated that, on an average weekday in 2018, 6.35 million person-trips were made by car, bus or train across the boundaries of one or more of the zones which are within the area covered by the TMfS. Just over one third (35%) of these trips were within the Clydeplan region, 24% within SESplan region, 6% within TAYplan, and 9% within Aberdeen City & Shire. (Table 11.27)

2.34 Of the 6.35 million inter-zonal person trips per weekday it is estimated that 5.4 million were by car. These accounted for over four-fifths of the total, and the main features of the pattern of trips by car were similar to those described in the previous paragraph. There were also an estimated 900 thousand inter-zonal person-trips by bus or train per weekday. Two fifths of these were within Clydeplan, and just over a quarter were within SESplan. (Table 11.27)

2.35 There was an average of just over 4.6 million journeys per weekday by cars and goods vehicles, with each vehicle containing one or more people. One third were within Clydeplan, and just under a quarter were within SESplan. (Table 11.27)

Concessionary Travel

2.36 92 million passenger journeys were made under all types of concessionary fare schemes in 2021-22, 84% more than in 2020-21. Concessionary travel schemes have varied over the years: a national minimum standard of free off-peak local bus travel for elderly and disabled people in Scotland was introduced from 30 September 2002, the scheme was extended to men aged 60-64 from 1 April 2003. In 2006 this was superseded by the introduction of the National Concessionary Travel Scheme for the elderly and disabled which allowed free bus travel across Scotland. Including the young persons' scheme, concessionary bus travel accounted for 88 million passenger journeys in 2021-22, 96% of concessionary journeys by all modes of transport). (Table 11.29)

Traveline Scotland

2.37 In 2021 Traveline Scotland received 91,700 telephone calls which was 66% more than the previous year. Its Web site and smart phone app recorded 25 million hits in 2021, up 35% from the previous year. (Table 11.30).

Notes

This worksheet contains one table.

note 1

The frequency of driving is shown only for those who hold a full driving licence

note 2

The number of days in the previous seven days on which the person made a trip of more than a quarter of a mile by foot for the specified purpose.

note 3

This question was asked in even years until 2016, but missed in 2018. Figures will be available in alternate years from 2019.

note 4

From April 2003, the questionnaire changed such that information on possession of driving licences and frequency of driving was no longer collected from the head of the household, or his/her spouse/partner, about all adults in the household, but instead from one randomly chosen adult member of the household about him or herself.

note 5

Question now asked in survey every other year. 2018 is the most recent data available.

note 6

This category includes jogging and walking a dog.

note 7

Note: This table is no longer being updated. Henceforth, information about average times taken to travel to work will be given in Table 11.15 (b), which is on the basis that is used to produce such figures for DfT's "Regional Transport Statistics".

note 8

Sample size for this cell is too small for reliable estimates.

note 9

Some of the figures shown in table 11.15 (b) differ slightly from those in 11.15 (a) due to differing methodology used to extract. Results are weighted using population estimates to ensure they are representative of the population at large.

note 10

Data are for males and females in employment aged 16-99.

note 11

Maximum recorded value of usual travel to work time = 180 minutes.

note 12

The large fall between 2010 and 2011 is due to a small sample size with a small number of very extreme values that are very sensitive to change

note 28

These estimates are based on information from samples of passengers using the principal routes- see sections 3.14 and 4.4 of the text.

note 29

"Other UK ports" includes information collected from Rosyth in 2008 Q2 & Q3. There are minor differences between Tables 11.26, 11.27 and 11.28, due to totals being calculated by adding separately-rounded numbers.

note 30

Prestwick airport was removed from the sample in quarter 2 of 2016.

note 31

These estimates are based on information from samples of passengers using the principal routes: the International Passenger Survey does not provide any information about passengers using other routes (e.g.Rosyth) - see sections 11.2 (page 283) and 11.7 (page 288) of the notes and definitions. Prestwick airport was added to the International Passenger Survey sample in 2005, so there are no figures for it prior to then. Removed from the sample quarter 2 of 2016 The results for 2003 and earlier years differ from those published previously because ONS has revised the series retrospectively - for example, the EU/Other Europe breakdown now reflects the position following the enlargement of the EU in 2004.

note 32

IPS changed the methodology for processing the imbalance within the survey data collection. Figures from 2009 have been revised and are not comparable with previous years.

note 33

All travel movements between the 803 zones used to represent the UK. - see section 4.5 of the commentary. The number of shorter distance trips which travel within a model zone area is not known.

note 34

note 37

This traffic and travel data was extracted from the Transport Model for Scotland 2018 (TMfS18) (Base Year Version DL, Model Version TMfS18 V1.0). The data reflects daily travel movements within a 2018 base year and represents the most recent data available from the LATIS service TMfS18 covers the whole of the Scottish Strategic Transport network. England is represented with much less detail. The data reflects 'inter-zonal trips', which includes all travel movements between the 803 zones used to represent the UK. The data does not include more local or short distance movements travelling wholly within model zones.

note 38

Figures include a degree of estimation (e.g. allowances for claims not yet been processed) and may incur some small revisions to previously published data.

note 39

The National Concessionary Travel bus scheme was introduced on 1st April 2006, which allows elderly and disabled free travel on all scheduled bus services in Scotland. This replaced any local schemes.

note 40

2001-02 & 2002-03 figures do not include Eilean Siar.

note 41

The Young People's Concessionary Travel Scheme started in 8 January 2007, aimed at 16 to 18 year olds (inclusive) and full time volunteers (aged under 26).

note 42

The Reimbursement Rate for the National Concessionary Travel bus scheme changed from 73.6% applicable 2006/07 to 2009/10, to 67% applicable 2010/11 to 2012/13, to 61% in 2013/14, to 58.1% in 2014/15, to 57.1% in 2015/16, to 56.9% in 2016/17 and 2017/18, to 56.8% in 2018/19, to 56.5% in 2019/20, to 55.9% in 2020/21.

note 43

A small charge was introduced for ferries in 2010.

note 44

Financial year end figures for 2019/20 impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic

note 45

Traveline Scotland went live for telephone calls on 3 January 2001. Its internet service became operational on 27 October 2002, and was formally launched on 16 December 2002, but statistics of its use are only available from the start of 2003.

note 46

The figures relate to the weeks which ended on Fridays which were in the specified calendar year - for example, the figures for "2003" cover the 52 weeks from the one ending on Friday 3 January 2003 to the week ending on Friday 26 December 2003, inclusive.

note 47

Categerisation of unanswered calls no longer takes place.

note 48

Daily averages are calculated by dividing the total for all the weeks ending in the year by the number of days in those weeks (e.g. 52 x 7 = 364). Therefore, they may differ slightly from the result that would be obtained if one divided by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366).

note 49

HIts are the record of unique visits to the web site. The web site supplier changed on 1 January 2006 and the new supplier defined hits in a more robust way than the previous supplier so the figures for 2006 onwards are not on a like for like basis with previous years.

note 50

Total number of hits now includes visits to bus departure boards on the Traveline Scotland app Consists of 6,211.7 unique web visits and 1219.2 app departure board visits (thousands)

note 51

Unanswered calls figure has increased due to a massive surge in calls during March 2018 as a result of the "mini beast from the East"severe weather

note 52

Total number of hits for 2018 will be understated due to a server logging issue

note 53

The distance travelled is a calculation of the straight line between the postcode of place of residence and postcode of workplace.

note 54

Includes no fixed place of work, working on an offshore installation and working outside the UK.

note 55

Percentages for distance to place of work do not include those working mainly from home

note 56

Excludes people who live in communal establishments - values for number of cars in a household were imputed where this was missing

note 57

Percentages based on a denominator of 50 respondents or fewer are not shown.

note 58

Due to changes in the survey in response to covid-19, 2020 data is not directly comparable with previous years, so there is a break in the time series between 2019 and 2020

note 59

This table was not updated for 2020 as the survey had been suspended.

note 60

The estimates provided for 2021 should be treated with caution as the numbers are much smaller than pre-coronavirus pandemic years, especially the first six months of the year, resulting in some cases with larger confidence intervals. The data exclude Eurotunnel completely for 2021 and the Dover ferries until August 2021 as we were unable to interview at these sites.'

Figure 11.3: Travel to work a) 2011 and b) 2021
Figure 11.4: Driver experience of congestion and bus passenger experience of delays 2009-2021

Note: The Scottish Household Survey Travel Diary asks car drivers whether their journey was delayed by congestion. Those making bus journeys are asked whether their journey was delayed and there is a separate question asking the reason. The data on reason for delay is included in the SHS Travel Diary publication. 1. For drivers 3 years data are combined, whereas in previous years just one year's data was given. There was little change over the years, and combining gives fewer suppressed values.
