This paper investigates the use of private vehicles and alternative means of transportation by senior citizens in suburban areas through the relationship between personal attributes and attitudes towards public transportation. A questionnaire survey was carried out in two areas of Noda City; a ‘station area’ around Noda Station and a distant ‘peripheral area’. The analysis found that although the probability that seniors living in the peripheral area would convert to public transportation was high, due to the level of public transportation available in each area, the type of alternative transportation favored by respondents was found to be influenced more by area than by age.
