This factsheet uses data from the National Travel Survey (NTS) to look at the travel behaviours of users of various modes of transport, including cars, bicycles, trains and buses. It looks in greater detail at the behaviour of users of different modes of transport by showing only averages of users who report using a particular mode, rather than the average of every person across the survey. Key findings include:
- The proportion of the NTS sample recording a surface rail trip has increased from 8% in 2005 to 10% in 2015.
- On average, individuals who recorded cycling did so for around 20 miles per week, equating to 1,028 miles per year.
- The proportion of drivers and average distance travelled increased with income. However, number of trips per person were similar across all income groups.
