That suggests over 13 million, but the rate is small compared nations with smaller populations, with the US boasting 756 and Luxemburg 686 per 1,000 population. Trains are one of the most popular modes of travel, with Chinese people recording an average of 504 km of rail travel per year per person. |
| United States |
