Abstract
⺠We identify the minimum income rural households require to afford transport costs. ⺠A new methodology for this is presented, framed in terms of the Capability Approach. ⺠We build budgets for different household types in rural towns, villages and hamlets. ⺠A rural Minimum Income Standard needs to cover car costs. ⺠Many low income rural families cannot afford the minimum standard.
