Abstract:	1. Modern life requires increasingly complex and diverse travel behaviour. We attend multiple destinations for multiple purposes, and trips are chained together as households negotiate the demands and opportunities presented by cities. A successful public transport system should accommodate this complexity. This presentation takes parts from a number of different data sources to explore how and why there are barriers to the implementation of a public transport policy designed to accommodate one specific, but surprisingly common, user need: travel with dogs. Public transport systems are governed by policies that are made both for and by the cultural context of the populations and cities they serve and the presentation demonstrates the way public transport policy is linked to aspects of national culture. Using the public transport policies regulating the carriage of dogs on public transport as a case study, The Hofstede framework of national cultural dimensions is used to reveal associations between public transport policy and culture. It reveals that allowing dogs on public transport is related to national cultures that are more conservative, with a long term orientation and an acceptance of hierarchies. The presentation concludes with how this might be transferable to other aspects of public transport policy and practice, particularly as it fights to compete with the comfort and convenience so often afforded by the private car.

Abstract:

1. Modern life requires increasingly complex and diverse travel behaviour. We attend multiple destinations for multiple
purposes, and trips are chained together as households negotiate the demands and opportunities presented by
cities. A successful public transport system should accommodate this complexity. This presentation takes parts from
a number of different data sources to explore how and why there are barriers to the implementation of a public
transport policy designed to accommodate one specific, but surprisingly common, user need: travel with dogs. Public
transport systems are governed by policies that are made both for and by the cultural context of the populations and
cities they serve and the presentation demonstrates the way public transport policy is linked to aspects of national
culture. Using the public transport policies regulating the carriage of dogs on public transport as a case study, The
Hofstede framework of national cultural dimensions is used to reveal associations between public transport policy
and culture. It reveals that allowing dogs on public transport is related to national cultures that are more conservative,
with a long term orientation and an acceptance of hierarchies. The presentation concludes with how this might be
transferable to other aspects of public transport policy and practice, particularly as it fights to compete with the
comfort and convenience so often afforded by the private car.
