Glossary:Modal split of passenger transport

Modal split of passenger transport is defined as the percentage share of each mode of transport in total inland transport, expressed in passenger-kilometres (pkm). It is based on transport by passenger cars, buses and coaches, and trains. All data should be based on movements on national territory, regardless of the nationality of the vehicle.

'Modal split of passenger transport (% of total inland passenger-km)' is one of Eurostat's sustainable development indicators (Theme 7, indicator 2).
