The provision of public transport is important for a sustainable society and is vital for many groups.Children, older people, and people from carless households are examples of such groups: they rely on public transport and risk social exclusion without it.The aim of this study is to identify areas in Sweden where an improved public transport system might enhance social sustainability.To this end, an index of public transport needs at a sub-municipality level was calculated along with an index of public transport provision using data from public transport authorities in Sweden.The results indicate that areas with a mismatch between the provision of and estimated demand for public transport are relatively heterogenous.High gaps exist both in rural and peripheral regions of Sweden as well as the suburbs of urban regions
