Comparison of vehicles, bicycles and buses
The graph presents comparative data for ten industrialised countries in terms of population and means of transport per 1,000 inhabitants. It includes approximate figures for population( in millions), number of vehicles, bicycles and city buses. It highlights that the United States has the highest vehicle density( 870-880), reflecting its car culture. In contrast, South Korea shows significantly lower numbers of vehicles and bicycles. Japan and Germany have high rates of cycling, while countries such as France and the UK have intermediate figures for city buses. The graph illustrates how infrastructure, mobility policies and geographical characteristics influence the use and availability of different modes of transport in each country.
These figures are rough estimates and may vary slightly depending on the reference year and source. For more precise data, it is recommended to consult official publications from organisations such as the World Bank, the OECD or national statistical institutes.
