PT model share Middle East and North Africa cities
Other regions
Source: Adapted from UITP 2019. Note: Data for cities outside the Middle East and North Africa region are 2012 data, taken from the 2015 International Association of Public Transport (UITP) Mobility in Cities database. Among Middle East and North Africa cities, those with modal split data older than 10 years are excluded in this benchmarking, which refers to the share of trips by public transportation (PT) in comparison to overall motorized trips. This means that trips by nonmotorized modes (for example, by walking or bike) are not considered. Owing to data limitations, the figure does not include either Cairo or Algiers, where PT was used for around two-thirds of motorized trips (according to UITP data from 2001 and 2004, respectively). Furthermore, other cities such as Marrakesh and Rabat in Morocco feature high shares of walking in their overall modal split.
