The time and costs involved in travel were analyzed, separate consideration being given to 'mandatory' activities and 'discretionary' activities (the remainder). Comparison of discretionary activity travel by individuals and households grouped according to their mandatory activity travel showed little variation, indicating that the two types of travel are independent. The work was based on the County Surveyor's Trip Rate Data Bank for 1974, which contains details of a single weekday's trip making (including home-based work) for over ten thousand individuals. It was suggested that it is probably inappropriate to consider travel as a unified activity at all, and that forecasts of travel budgets contain implicit assumptions about network speeds.
