Economic data, Public Transport, Buses Sweden

This document contains preliminary numbers for economic data for Swedish buses.

Bold font rows are the final datapoints.

The values are good approximations, but they may still be subject to change.

Transport statistics

Total distances

Public transport in Sweden is mainly served by buses of type I (city bus) and type II (regional buses).

Table 1

	name	value	unit
0	Total distance City bus type I [1]	27,649,900.4	swedish mile
1	Total distance Regional bus type II [1]	40,347,535	swedish mile
2	Total distance City bus type I [1]*	276,499,004	km
3	Total distance Regional bus type II [1]*	403,475,350	km
4	Total distance types I and II† ‡	680,000,000	km

*Converted from swedish mile to kilometer

A number in parentheses represents the row in question

$\displaystyle †(2) + (3)$

‡Rounded to the nearest ten million

Externalities

Since accident costs are from 2017 we use data from 2017’s load factor to convert from person kilometers (pkm) to vehicle kilometers (vkm).

3	Load factor* ‡	11.2	pkm / vkm
4	Accident cost per bus km† §	0.22	SEK / vkm
