Abstract

Adolescents' leisure activities, travel experiences and attitudes toward car-ownership were studied in inner-city Stockholm. 37 of the 71 participating adolescents lived in car-free households. In this setting, a family car made no difference for their leisure activities as both categories enjoyed extensive independent mobility by walking and public transport. The majority had experienced international recreational travels by air. Car-ownership influenced attitudes about the importance of a family car for children, as both adolescent categories endorsed their own situation.
