Abstract

Highlights: Transport-related issues appear to influence life satisfaction among older adolescents. There were gender differences among transport issues, and among predictors of life satisfaction. Life satisfaction was associated with driver's licensing, cycling, and geographic location. Findings support subsidised public transport and changes to gender-neutral school uniforms.
