How we calculate
Operators Unit: operators · counted
Transport companies as their timetable names them (GTFS agency). The same operator in several feeds is counted once; in Germany the company that actually runs each line. Source: published GTFS timetables, one representative week per feed
Vehicle-km / year Unit: km per year · estimate
For every trip: route length (along the published route shape; without one, the straight line between its stops × 1.25) × the days it runs in the representative week, × 365.25 / 7. Only scheduled service — no empty or depot runs, no demand-responsive services. Source: published GTFS timetables, one representative week per feed
Vehicles (peak) Unit: vehicles · estimate
The highest number of trips running at the same moment in the representative week — a lower bound: reserve and workshop vehicles are not included. Source: published GTFS timetables, one representative week per feed
Trips / week Unit: trips per week · counted
All scheduled trips in the representative week; trips given as a frequency (every 10 minutes) are expanded into single trips. Source: published GTFS timetables, one representative week per feed
Stations* Unit: stations · counted
Stations with a page of their own: at least 250 scheduled departures a day, or among a country's busiest 1,000 with at least 30. Capped per country, so not comparable between countries. Source: published GTFS timetables, one representative week per feed
Vehicle-km per inhabitant Unit: km per inhabitant and year · estimate
Vehicle-km per year of all operators in the country ÷ its population. Only countries whose timetables cover the whole country; the figure for all countries together is their vehicle-km ÷ their population. Source: published GTFS timetables, one representative week per feed; Eurostat, population on 1 January 2025
Tender notices Unit: notices · counted
Every published notice counts once: prior information, call for tenders or award notice. Source: TED (EU Official Journal) since 06/2024 and the German national portal
Open procedures Unit: notices · as published
Prior information notices and calls for tenders — notices that do not announce an award. Source: TED (EU Official Journal) since 06/2024 and the German national portal
Value (€) Unit: € · as published
Sum of the contract values stated in the notices, in euro only; other currencies are neither converted nor added. Many notices state no value, so the sum is a lower bound. Source: TED (EU Official Journal) since 06/2024 and the German national portal
