Gender roles play out in any spatial context, and can thus be expected to vary across the urban
landscape. The development of any area can not be considered fair and equitable unless the issue of gender is
taken into consideration. This study seeks to examine the relationship between gender and intra-urban transport
in Sabon-Gari area of Zaria. Data for this study was obtained through the administration of questionnaire to
respondents sampled systematically in six major streets of the study area. Pearson C hi-square and phi test were
used for the analyses. The results shows that the relationship between gender and intra-urban mode choice is
statistically significant with a strong strength of association, Phi = 0.542. The implication of this result is that
if the country is to emerge as a viable and modern society, equity and fairness should be assured in the
provision of transport services so that gendered variation in transport needs are taken into consideration.
