Transport segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals or groups of people based on certain criteria, such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, or disability, when using public transportation. This can result in unequal access to transportation services and lead to social exclusion and discrimination.

Transport segregation can also refer to the separation of different modes of transport, such as exclusive lanes for buses or bicycles, which may limit the options available to certain individuals or groups.

Efforts to address transportation segregation may include implementing policies and initiatives to promote equal access to transportation services and infrastructure for all people, regardless of their background or circumstances. This can help create a more inclusive and equitable transport system that meets the needs of all members of the community.
