EMTA Barometer

EMTA collects annual statistics on public transport in the largest European cities for more than 20 years. A transformation of the barometer production process is under way, that will cut the publication time by 12 months and offer data visualisation through an online dashboard in addition to the annual report. Expect to see the new EMTA barometer in the Summer 2024 with figures up to the year 2023.

Barometer 2024 – Based on 2013-2023 data

The next edition of the EMTA barometer is in preparation. It will be published in July 2024, will include data up to 2023 and give more attention to tracking changes in public transport statistics since 2013.

The next edition will have a particular focus on costs, revenue and ridership, reflecting the rapid inflation that hits Europe since 2022, the changing travel habits since the Covid-19 pandemic, and the diverging fare policies across countries.
