Number of passenger journeys on local bus services originating in the area per head of population (12802) Metric type

This is the number of local bus journeys originating in the area by local authority per head of population.

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 seperately Based on former National Indicator 177 (note: these figures are not consistent with figures in tables BUS0101 to BUS0109a) and are published annually. When reported as a National Indicator, figures for these areas included light rail journeys. The local authority figures shown here relate to bus only. In some areas, the number of light rail journeys from DfT Light Rail and Tram statistics has been used to remove the light rail journeys from the total.

Data are available at the local authority level (single tier authorities and county councils) although in some areas data are only available at the Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) level or the London level.
