List of Code Family and Codes for Older Adults

Code family	Codes	Example quotations
Barriers in public transport	Traffic congestion	I was stuck in traffic jam many times. Last I was stuck when I was going Ghazipur. It was so congested that I felt it could have been better if we started walking. Apart from that if we go to work in places like Sadarghat, Hazaribagh and Secton we have to be in traffic. Here at least 1 to 2 hours traffic is common. (Abdul Ahad, 66, construction worker)
	Barriers/experiences in bus	The most challenging part about using the bus is while boarding. It is so difficult to board and deboard a running bus; you almost risk your life. (Mohammad Ali, 62, AC mechanic)
	Break journey: challenges while traveling in buses	Buses are available, but sometimes we have to wait. Sometimes direct bus for my destination is not available, so I have to break my journey through changing buses. This is the major problem. (Abdur Rahman, 62, medical shop owner)
	Behaviors toward older adults	No. These days I don’t find sympathy or good behavior. In the past, people allowed us to ride first. But now! What days we have to face!! People behave like no one knows anyone. Moreover, bus drivers generally don’t want to follow the signals. They misbehave not only with me but also with other passengers. (Asma, 63, working in a pharmaceutical company)
