    Tomšič, Marija, 1956- ; Sevšek, France ; Rugelj, Darja, 1960-
    An independent life for older family members depends on their physical condition as well as on the quality and accessibility of public transport. Together it has a significant impact on social ... interactions of community-dwelling older adults, their participation in the community and the family. One of the aims of the project was to research the habits, perceptions and satisfaction of older public bus users and to develop and assess an exercise programme for mobility enhancement. The results of the research indicate that older public bus users are satisfied with the bus services on average. Visual impairment, musculoskeletal pain and balance impairment are the most common health problems of the public transportation user and were emphasised in the mobility enhancement programme that was developed for community-dwelling older adults.
