Public transport is crucial for children's mobility. To access spaces and places without accompanying adults, buses, ferries, trains and trams constitute an important part of children's daily mobility - both to school and leisure activities. But do public transport authorities (PTA) plan and organize public transport based on children's needs and wishes? In 1990 Sweden ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and 2020 it became an integrated part of Swedish legislation. Drawing on interviews with regional public transport planners and regional documents we wish through notions of children's perspective to unpack if and in what way the convention has influenced how PTAs include children in their planning. The study demonstrates that very few of the 21 regional PTAs have translated the convention to a public transport language and thereby work with a child rights perspective in a systematic way. Although PTAs wish to have a more child friendly perspective, lack of resources, access to and knowledge from children are barriers in their work. Furthermore, a great focus on adults' commuting, spaces and places prevent them from being in accordance with the convention. We thereby illustrate a continuous lack to plan public transport for children's needs and wishes.
