15.3 Section III. People characteristics

In this section, information is obtained for each of the people living in the housing unit.

Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.

[Figure omitted: image with text]

For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.

Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.

21. Means of transportation to school
This question asks about the means by which people travel from home to school.

Commuting is understood as the journey that a person makes from a place of origin to a place of destination; in this case, going from home to school by one or more means of transportation.

Read the question and circle the answer(s) stated by the respondent. Take into account that you can record up to three means of transportation when they are on the same route, so it is very important that when you ask this question, ask if they are all the ones used in the same section and record the corresponding option or options.

For example, there are people who take a truck,
then the subway, and finally, walk to their school. In this case, you must circle option 6. Truck, bus, van; 3. Metro, light rail, commuter rail, and 1. Walking.

When the respondent indicates that there are days when he/she uses one means of transportation and changes it some other days, ask him/her to identify the one he/she uses most frequently.

To record the answer correctly, consider the following:

Walking. This option includes regular transportation made by the person on foot, which can be complete or in sections; for example, the routes from the place of origin to the place where he/she takes the first transport, and those from where the last transport leaves to the place of destination of the trip.

Bicycle. This means of transportation is recorded when it is used to travel the full distance from the housing unit to the educational institution or during a partial trip.

Subway, light rail, commuter rail. It includes electric transportation that runs on tracks or rails between one station and another; it is articulated by several wagons and travels through metropolitan areas such as the CDMX (Metro Collective Transportation System, Light Rail, and Commuter Train), Guadalajara (Electric Train System or Light Rail), Monterrey (Metrorrey).

Trolleybus. Electric public transport that travels by means of a two-wire system connected to electric power. It exists in Mexico City, Guadalajara (SITREN), and the State of Mexico.

Metrobus (bus in a confined lane). Means of transport that travels in an exclusive or confined lane, generally on the central or left side of the road. No other vehicles may use this lane. It may or may not be articulated, i.e., it may have more than one wagon. It has established stations and arrival or transfer terminals. For example: Metrobus in CDMX; Macrobus in Jalisco; RUTA, in Puebla; QroBus, in Querétaro; Acabús (Acapulco); Tuzobús (Pachuca); Optibús (León); Ecovía (Monterrey); Vivebús (Chihuahua).

Truck. Public passenger transportation with an average capacity of 30 seats, may or may not have fixed stops for boarding and getting off, these generally do not have booths or signage. It is traditionally known as an urban or suburban truck.

Bus. Specifically for the purposes of the Census, this concept includes all those urban or suburban buses that are part of the Public Transportation Network of the metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico or the Integrated Transportation Systems in the states. For example, buses such as Atenea, Ecobús, and Servicio Expreso in the CDMX; in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara they are known as Nuevo Modelo de Trasporte Público, such as routes 13, 163, 368, 368 CUT and 371; Tuesa in Monterrey; and SITT, in Tijuana, B.C.

Van. A motor vehicle known as a van, microbus, vagoneta or pesero that follows a specific route and passengers board or get off along it. They may or may not have pre-established stops. It also includes collective cabs, which pick people up and drop them off during the course of a route.

School transport. Special transportation service that regularly transports students from their house to school or vice versa.

Cab (place, street, other). A motor vehicle that transports people from one place to another, usually with a taximeter that indicates the amount of the trip.

Cab (internet app). Motor vehicle for rent used as public transportation, which is requested by the user through a computer application(App), who determines the place where he/she boards (or is picked up) and where they are dropped. This service is offered by companies such as Uber, DiDi, Cabify, Easy Taxi, TaxiBeat, Yaxi, and Ubarxi. It is characterized by using a GPS (Global Positioning System) location system. It allows you to verify the vehicle and driver's data and pay by credit card, debit card, or cash.

If the person declares that they use cabs, ask how they request the service; if they do so at a site, on the street, or in some other way (hotel or subdivision site), circle option 8; include in this option cabs requested by WhatsApp. But if he/she does it by means of a computer application (internet app), record option 9.

Also, if the respondent only answers that he/she only uses public transportation, ask which one he/she is referring to and circle options 3, 4, 5, and 6 as appropriate.

Motorcycle or moped. A private vehicle with two, three, or even four wheels used to transport people. Includes tricycles and ATV.

Car or van. Private motor vehicle used for the transportation of people.

Car or pick-up truck. Private motor vehicle used for the transportation of people.

In case they mention any means that do not appear in options 1 to 11, circle option 12. Other. When the answer is bicycle cabs or motorcycle cabs, record them in this option.
