Eurostat: public transport in Europe, 50.6% never use it. Most popular in Luxembourg, where all forms of public transport are free

 

The figures about public transport in the European Union, which have been issued by Eurostat, the European statistics bureau, today say that the European average sees just 10.7% of people (aged 16 and above) using public transport every day, 11.6% every week, 10.0% every month, and 17.1% less than once a month. And as many as 50.6% never use it at all. The countries that are least inclined to travel sustainably are Cyprus, with 85% of its population never using public transport, followed by Italy (68%), Portugal (67.8%), France (65.1%), Slovenia (61.6%) and Greece (61.3%). Bottom of the list is Luxembourg (where all forms of public transport are free), with only 15.7% of people never going on a public train or bus, followed by Estonia (26.6%) and Sweden (26.7%). In the span of a week, Luxembourg ranks first again, with 23.1% of its people using public transport once a week, followed by Latvia (19.2%) and Estonia (18.2%). The proportion in Italy is 8.3%, closer to the bottom of the list. The figures about daily use see Hungarians (19.6%), followed by the Czech Republic (19%) and, again, Luxembourg (18,9%) make it to the top of the list. Italy is second to last, with 5.1% of its over-16 population using public transport every day. Only Cyprus ranks worse (4.5%).
