Abstract

Much of the research on transportation and safe mobility focuses on older adult's thoughts and feelings on driving transition in high-income countries, but there is limited knowledge on this process and its consequences in low-and-middle-income countries. Moreover, there is very little understanding of the transition process involving other forms of transport, specifically the motorcycle. This study aimed to understand the process of driving/riding cessation involving former car drivers and former motorcycle riders, including the motivations that act as driving forces influencing the decision to cease driving/riding, challenges faced during the transition, and strategies adopted to adjust to life without driving/riding.
