Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the distinctions in the mobility patterns of elderly individuals and to formulate recommendations that will enhance the accessibility and suitability of public transportation systems for this demographic. To achieve this objective, data from the electronic fare collection system used in public transportation in Izmir city for elderly individuals with smart cards has been utilized. To investigate the variables that differentiate the mobility of elderly individuals, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and Student's T-test analysis were employed. The results demonstrate that elderly individuals are not a homogeneous group; gender, age group, and distance from the city center have an impact on mobility. The issue of increasing the mobility of elderly individuals will have an impact on spatial planning and transportation planning.
