Notes

  1. 1.

    The estimated distances are respectively 9.1, 12.3 and 16.0 kms.

  2. 2.

    This typology is based on four frequency levels—never, from time to time (less than one in two journeys), regularly (more than one in two journeys), most of the time—and four travel motivations—going shopping, travelling to leisure activities, pleasure/sport, and going to work. The method used is the two steps method, which results in a division into six groups.

  3. 3.

    There are no marked socio-economic differences.
