Rationale - what it means and why it is an important measure
Since cities bring together a large number of people
(inhabitants and tourists), transport policies, including public
transport, are some of the most important urban issues; they
play a determining role in the economy and quality of life.
Efficient public transport is the main driver to a cleaner urban
environment; many transportation problems, such as overuse of
private cars, can be solved by implementing good public
transport. How it is compiled, what data are needed Defined as
the number of public transport seats per 1000 people. The
indicator should be measured annually. Measurements and units
Public transport seats per 1000 population (Number of seats per
1000 capita) Possible temporal and spatial format Reference to
methodology resources To use public transport instead of private
cars in cities. Targets, benchmarks, reference values No target
references. References to examples of application Congestion of
