Background: The transport needs of people with disability are often marginalised, and universally accessible transport remains a challenge in many African countries. Lack of accessible transport may lead to high unemployment rates, poverty and lack of opportunities among people with disability. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify transport barriers encountered by people with disability in Africa. Method: A systematic literature review design was followed, while content analysis was used to analyse the data obtained. Results: One of the most significant barriers for the African countries is the lack of universally accessible transport infrastructure coupled with poor maintenance of existing infrastructure. Lack of policies and legislation on transport and disability as well as poor implementation was also common among African countries. Conclusion: The transport barriers identified in this study provide insights into what people with disability are experiencing in accessing public transport and guide policymakers and city planners in providing universally accessible transportation.
