NEWS AND EVENTS
Many inhabitants of rural areas … lack adequate and affordable access to transportation infrastructure and services. Poor access to transport constrains economic and social development and contributes to poverty. Better transport services can stimulate economic activity and social improvement, leading to easier access and a virtuous circle that reduces poverty and improves the lives of poor rural residents.”
(Improving Rural Mobility – World Bank Technical Paper No. 525)
