Moovit has released its 2019 Global Public Transport Report, which is comprised of big data analyzed from tens of millions of trip requests in cities across the world, in conjunction with user research in 99 metro areas across 25 countries.
The numbers show public transit in the U.S. holds close to the worldwide averages for most metrics. For the U.S., data was analyzed in the Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco Bay, Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue and Washington, D.C.-Baltimore metropolitan areas. Metrics in the report include commute duration, wait time, walking distance, number of transfers, total trip distance and reasons that may encourage more public transit usage. The report also includes micro-mobility metrics such as how and how often it is used, and usage and non-usage reasons.
“After analyzing endless data, we’re very excited to share our Global Public Transport Report,” said Yovav Meydad, Moovit’s chief growth and marketing officer. “No other urban mobility app or service has as much rich and relevant data about public transit and shared mobility as Moovit does which is why this report is so valuable. This report can be a very beneficial tool for any city or agency looking for an accurate picture of the infrastructure supporting daily travel habits of citizens in their cities.”
