In 2023, according to the Continuous Household Survey in Northern Ireland, the majority of primary school pupils traveled to school by car and the majority of post-primary school pupils traveled by bus. As pupils enter post-primary schools, the number of pupils who travel by walking or by car falls significantly, whereas the number of pupils who travel to school by bus increases six-fold. Bicycling is one of the least frequently used modes of transport among pupils in Northern Ireland.
