Russia, 57% use public transport
2018 CE • Russia
"About 57% of Russians use public transport. Public transport is popular in the country because it is cheaper, faster, and extensive. Russia has a vast network of railways, roads, airways. Excellent road and rail systems serve major cities including Saint Petersburg and Moscow. People prefer traveling by train over long distances because it is cheaper and much safer considering that the country’s roads are among the most dangerous in the world. Buses and trams offer transport to residents living close to cities and help reduce traffic jams on the roads."
