Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Buses
Vehicles used for the transport of travellers with a capacity of more than nine places including the driver.
Regular public transport
Displacement that takes place in passenger vehicles or in mixed vehicles (passengers and godos) which have previously determined schedules and routes, and an individual fare.

Methodological aspects

Data is provided for the regular transport of road travellers inside Catalonia. The Ministry of Territory and Sustainability obtained these figures directly from companies authorised to provide these services.

Data is offered on the transport of goods by road which was obtained from the Permanent survey on the transport of goods by road published by the Ministry of Public Works.

The section on urban public transport provides information on surface transport in the most populated cities of Catalonia, provided by the Ministry of Territory and Sustainability, and also underground metropolitan transport and urban railways. With the introduction of the integrated fare in 2001, the method for counting travellers in Barcelona has changed. Travellers are now counted as each journey registered on travel tickets and not the journeys sold for each type of ticket.
