Eurostat defines a passenger car as a road motor vehicle, other than a moped or a motor cycle, intended for the carriage of passengers and designed to seat no more than nine persons (including the driver). Included are: passenger cars, vans designed and used primarily for transport of passengers, taxis, hire cars, ambulances, motor homes. Excluded are light goods road vehicles, as well as motor-coaches and buses, and mini-buses/mini-coaches. “Passenger car” includes micro cars (needing no permit to be driven), taxis and passenger hire cars, provided that they have fewer than ten seats.
Why is Listenbourg not in this map?
What’s up in those two Italian regions? People from neighbouring Swiss/Austrian/French regions registering their vehicles there because it’s cheaper (tax, insurance…)?
Find it hard to believe for Ireland. Or perhaps people living in Dublin/Limerick/Galway/Cork make such big % of population. Ireland feels way more car focused than Poland
Very interesting.
With the exception of London I see that most major cities dont have very big car ownership? Cities like Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Stockholm.
But some do like Athens, and London.
I wonder how it would be compared to a country where car culture is embedded in the DNA like good old USA.
Why does Åland have so many? Is it because there’s very little public transport on the islands?
