Description |
| China |
China has a huge number of motor vehicles on its roads, with vehicles per capita figures showing that there are 10 for every 1,000 in the population. 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 |
In terms of transport, the US is the busiest place on earth. It boasts the highest number of aircraft departures (8.5 million), the greatest network of highways (6.4 million kms), and the highest number of motor vehicles per capita, with 765 vehicles per 1,000 people. However, rail travel it the least popular mode of travel, with just 140km of travelled by rail per year per capita, a figure dwarfed somewhat by leaders Japan, (1,900km) and Switzerland (1,730km). |
