Share of buses and trains in inland passenger transport

The indicator measures the share of collective transport modes in total inland passenger transport performance, expressed in passenger-kilometres (pkm). Collective transport modes refer to buses, including coaches and trolley-buses, and trains. Total inland transport includes transport by passenger cars, buses and coaches, and trains. All data are based on movements within national territories, regardless of the nationality of the vehicle. The data collection methodology is voluntary and not fully harmonised at the EU level. Other collective transport modes, such as tram and metro systems, are also not included due to the lack of harmonised data. For countries, where rail transport statistical legislation does not apply, the totals contain only the share of coaches, buses and trolley buses.
