Only 15% going to work use public transport: NSO

Data from the National Household Travel Survey, released by the NSO, reveals that only 15 percent of workers utilize public transport for their daily commutes. The findings highlight private motor vehicles as a major transport mode, with 46 percent of workers relying on cars and two-wheelers, which contributes to ongoing traffic congestion.

In addition to motorized private transport, non-motorized travel remains a significant component of commuting patterns. Walking emerges as the second most common method of travel to work, accounting for 28.3 percent of commuting workers. Meanwhile, the survey notes that student commuting patterns differ noticeably from those of the workforce.
