Transport infrastructure and services are often incorrectly considered “gender neutral”. It is wrongly assumed that transport projects equally benefit men and women. In fact, travel patterns, mobility, and accessibility are different for women and men, as they use different modes of transport for different purposes and in different ways depending on their socially determined reproductive, productive, and community-related gender roles. These differences need to be well understood in order to inform the design of gender-inclusive transport projects.

Transport investments that are designed with due consideration to gender dimensions can bring significant benefits to women (as well as children, the elderly and people with disabilities), in terms of increased access to employment, markets, education and health services, as well as directly reducing their time poverty. However, too often, the design of transport projects and services do not sufficiently consider women’s travel needs, concerns, priorities, and preferences. Gender analysis needs to be undertaken to inform the design of transport investments.

This study uses the Ho Chi Minh city Metro Railway Project as a case study. The research will show evidence on the different transport needs of men and women, their different travel behavior and ability to access and afford public transport, therefore will highlight the link of a high-speed transport system to promote women’s economic empower.
