In the field of passenger transport, 'active' transport refers to modes of transport which require the passenger to take a physical role in moving themselves. The most widely used modes of active transport are walking & cycling (running, swimming & even rowing are less common examples). Active transport is often recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle because it allows people to incorporate exercise into their daily routines (e.g. cycling to the shops or walking to work). In most cases, active transport is GOOD for you. However, it is sensible to assess the risks: for example, walking in a crime-spot at night or cycling too close to motorised traffic could be bad for you. [Note - in science, 'active transport' means something different]
