Donkin, Childs and Marmot argue that transport is not just about getting from A to B but its a key driver of health, opportunity, and fairness. They show how poor transport access deepens inequality, especially for people without cars, and how cuts to bus services have hit low income and rural communities the hardest. The paper highlights how transport links affect everything from job access to hospital visits, and how bad infrastructure fuels isolation and poor health. Their solution is to invest in public transport, especially buses, and give local authorities the power to shape services around real community needs. It is a call to treat transport as a public good, not a private convenience.
