Number of passenger journeys on local bus services per head of population (12801) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of passenger journeys on local bus services by local authority per head of population; each boarding of a bus is counted as one journey.
The bus passenger journeys per head figures presented here are estimates based on returns provided by bus operators. Mid-year population estimates from Office for National Statistics are used but do not account for bus passengers using the bus outside the local authority in which they reside. Users should be aware that figures for small areas can be affected by recording differences and so individual figures should be interpreted carefully. Furthermore, the size of the bus market in London and differing trends in bus use makes it sensible to view London and the rest of the country separately. Figures come from bus operators as part of the DfT's (Department for Transport) Public Service Vehicle Survey and are published annually.
Data is available at the local authority level (unitary authorities and county councils). Data is also published at the Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) level and London is the figure quoted for Transport for London.
