TwitterThe number of public transport passengers has been on a slow upward trend and is projected to reach *** billion users by 2029. This upward trend was interrupted between 2020 and 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when user numbers dropped significantly and then began recovering to the pre-pandemic levels.

DESCRIPTION This table contains data on the percent of residents aged 16 years and older mode of transportation to work for ...
SUMMARY This table contains data on the percent of residents aged 16 years and older mode of transportation to work for California, its regions, counties, cities/towns, and census tracts. Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau, Decennial Census and American Community Survey. The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity. Commute trips to work represent 19% of travel miles in the United States. The predominant mode – the automobile - offers extraordinary personal mobility and independence, but it is also associated with health hazards, such as air pollution, motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and sedentary lifestyles. Automobile commuting has been linked to stress-related health problems. Active modes of transport – bicycling and walking alone and in combination with public transit – offer opportunities for physical activity, which is associated with lowering rates of heart disease and stroke, diabetes, colon and breast cancer, dementia and depression. Risk of injury and death in collisions are higher in urban areas with more concentrated vehicle and pedestrian activity. Bus and rail passengers have a lower risk of injury in collisions than motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Minority communities bear a disproportionate share of pedestrian-car fatalities; Native American male pedestrians experience four times the death rate Whites or Asian pedestrians, and African-Americans and Latinos experience twice the rate as Whites or Asians. More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the About/Attachments section.

TwitterIn the fiscal year 2023, Japan's public transport passenger volume increased to 27.58 billion trips. Japan is home to the world’s busiest station, Shinjuku, that handles more than three million passengers per day on average. Shinjuku, which is one of many stations located in or around Tokyo that exceed the one million daily passenger throughput landmark, is only one of the many examples of Japan’s incredible infrastructure. Such logistical feats are made possible by a highly developed public transport system that is spread across Japan’s urban areas. Trains are efficient mass transportation vehicles Japan’s domestic transportation handles tens of billions of passengers every year. The vast majority of the passenger volume is carried via domestic railway transportation. Tokyo alone has over 50 operating railway lines. Trains, dubbed Shinkansen (or bullet trains), also place first in long-distance domestic travel, transporting hundreds of millions of passengers, mostly between highly urbanized areas such as Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Ships transport goods while airplanes carry people As an island nation, Japan relies on ships and airplanes to move people and goods inside and outside its borders. While most of the international shipment volume happens via maritime transportation, the vast majority of individuals traveling inbound and outbound to Japan use airplanes. ANA and JAL are the two major players in Japan’s aviation industry. The two companies are very dominant in domestic travel and are also responsible for a large share of inbound traveler transportation, carrying tens of millions of passengers per year.

TwitterThis dataset describes the public transport networks of 25 cities across the world in multiple easy-to-use data formats. These data formats include network edge lists, temporal network event lists, SQLite databases, GeoJSON files, and General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) compatible ZIP-files.
The source data for creating these networks has been published by public transport agencies according to the GTFS data format. To produce the network data extracts for each city, the original data have been curated for errors, filtered spatially and temporally and augmented with walking distances between public transport stops using data from OpenStreetMap.
Cities included in this dataset version: Adelaide, Belfast, Berlin, Bordeaux, Brisbane, Canberra, Detroit, Dublin, Grenoble, Helsinki, Kuopio, Lisbon, Luxembourg, Melbourne, Nantes, Palermo, Paris, Prague, Rennes, Rome, Sydney, Toulouse, Turku, Venice, and Winnipeg.
Contrary to the version 1.0 of this data set, this version (1.2) does not include the cities of Antofagasta and Athens, for which non-commercial usage of the data is not allowed.
Contrary to previous versions of the data set (1.0 and 1.2), in this version (1.2) the temporal filtering of the data has been slightly adapted, so that the daily and weekly data extracts cover all trips departing between from 03 AM on Monday to 03 AM on Tuesday (daily extract) or 03 AM of the Monday next week (weekly extract). Additionally, a temporal network extract covering a full week of operations has been added for each city.
Documentation of the data can be found in the Data Descriptor article published in Scientific Data: http://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2018.89 When using this dataset, please cite also the above-mentioned paper.
