Behavioural attitudes of three-wheeled taxi drivers towards mitigation of on-road air pollution in urban cities in Sri Lanka: a qualitative study from South Asia.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Objectives

In recent years, urban areas across South Asia have experienced alarming levels of air pollution, primarily attributed to the rapid growth of motorised transportation. Three-wheeled taxis, commonly known as 'tuk-tuks', constitute a significant portion of the public transport system in Sri Lankan cities, making it crucial to understand the behavioural attitudes of their drivers in addressing on-road air pollution as they are key stakeholders in urban mobility and environmental sustainability. Therefore, this research aimed to contribute valuable insights into the behavioural attitudes of three-wheeled taxi drivers towards mitigation of on-road air pollution.

Methods

We recruited 67 three-wheeled taxi drivers to participate in semi-structured focus
