Changes in the contributions of buses and trains (collective transport modes) to inland passenger transport and inland waterways and trains (non-road modes) to freight transport across European countries between 2005 and 2020

The figure shows the change, in percentage points, in the contribution of buses and trains (collective transport modes) to total inland passenger transport (left panel) and inland waterways and trains (non-road modes) to total freight transport (right panel) by country for the period 2005-2020.

Methodology

Raw data by country of variation (2005-2020) in the share of collective and of non-road modes in total inland passenger and freight transport performance respectively were retrieved from Eurostat. Data are displayed at country level and are expressed in percentage points. To provide the broadest possible picture of European countries, geographical coverage was extended to the 32 EEA member countries and the Western Balkan cooperating countries when data were available. No additional gap filling was applied to the data. Information on data set uncertainties can be found directly in the metadata and explanatory notes provided by Eurostat. Only official Eurostat data sets have been used.

Additional information on the methodology used for data collection can be found here: Share of rail and inland waterways in inland freight transport (sdg_09_60) (europa.eu) and Share of buses and trains in inland passenger transport (sdg_09_50) (europa.eu).

Additional information

The variation is in percentage points and it is calculated for the 2005-2020 period. Collective modes refer to passenger transport via buses, including coaches and trolley-buses, and trains. Non-road modes refer to freight transport through trains and inland waterways. Total inland passenger transport activity includes transport by passenger cars, buses and coaches, and trains. Total inland freight transport activity includes transport by road, rail and inland waterways.
