The Swiss Städtekonferenz Mobilität (transl: City Conference on Mobility) publishes a "Städtevergleich Mobilität" (transl: City comparison on mobility) for the six biggest German-speaking Swiss cities (Basel, Bern, Luzern, St.Gallen, Winterthur and Zürich), every couple of years. It is based on combining federal data and data the cities collect themselves. The reports are published here: https://skm-cvm.ch/de/Info/Fakten/Stadtevergleich_Mobilitat

Every year, modal shares between cities are reported. Currently reported years are 2010, 2015, 2021. Modal shares are calculated as the percentages of the main mode of transport per trip ("Hauptverkehrsmittel pro Weg", p. 18 of report for 2021).

This repository provides a dataset, which is a manual transcription of modal shares reported on page 18 of the report for 2021 to make modal share data available in CSV format. The original report is attached as well. The repository contains the following files:

• modal_shares_staedtevergleich.csv: The modal shares dataset (CSV file)
• variables.csv: Variable descriptions for modal_shares_staedtevergleich.csv (CSV file)
