average travel time by public transport<br />

Public transport travel times shown in are relatively similar in urban areas and<br />

small <strong>to</strong>wns areas, at typically 10 minutes for post offices, banks and general<br />

s<strong>to</strong>res. Times for <strong>rural</strong> areas are much higher, rising <strong>to</strong> over an hour for access<br />

<strong>to</strong> chemists in the most remote <strong>rural</strong> areas (most of which are in the Shetland<br />

Islands). For people without access <strong>to</strong> a car, therefore, access <strong>to</strong> even the most<br />

everyday services may be a barrier <strong>to</strong> living in a <strong>rural</strong> area. Furthermore, the<br />

extent <strong>to</strong> which services can be accessed in different ways (for example by<br />

offering home delivery) may vary between area types.
