About this data
<p align="justify">This dataset provides an indicator of the main mode of transport to work in Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) and cities. The indicator is defined as the share of people using a given mode to commute to work. Modes of transport include car, scooter, public transport (including company buses), bicycle, walking and other. The indicator excludes employed people working from home.</p> <h3>Data sources and methodology</h3> <p align="justify">The indicator uses data extracted from the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/urb_ltran__custom_9023242/default/table?lang=en">Eurostat database</a> for European countries. For non-European countries, data is collected at the level of small administrative units (e.g. municipalities) and aggregated at the FUA and city level.
