Transport

Transport statistics is about performances related to forwarding goods and the spatial movement of persons. Statistics on the movement of people have two main areas: interurban passenger transport (public transport between two settlements) and local passenger transport (public transport within a settlement). It also monitors the transport infrastructure involving rolling stock (e.g. number of passenger cars, buses) and built infrastructure (e.g. length of motorways, railway lines). Accident statistics take into account accidents in the country, with a special focus on road traffic accidents causing personal injury.
