“…Something similar is happening in research on what are often touted as African, Latin-American and (South-)Asian transport phenomena – Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) (Casas and Delmelle, 2014; Vermeiren et al, 2015) and the very poor access to employment, healthcare and other services experienced by low income households and particularly poor women from peripheral locations in rural areas (Naybor et al, 2016; Seedhouse et al, 2016) or rapidly expanding cities (Hernandez and Rossel, 2015; Alberts et al, 2016; Maia et al, 2016; Oviedo Hernandez and Titheridge, 2016). Much more than mere transfer is going on in these studies, as exemplified by the ways in which thinking on livelihoods is deployed (Alberts et al, 2016; Naybor et al, 2016), attention is directed towards informal modes of transport and motorbikes (Vermeiren et al, 2015; Naybor et al, 2016; Maia et al, 2016) and care is taken not to impose researchers’ ‘own parameters of distance and place on the participants, but rather to let those evolve from their own perceptions’ (Maia et al, 2016: 137).…”
