Text - 9 things you didn’t know about world travel

1. In the USA, 74% of people drive a car. In Japan, it’s 59%; and in Germany, it’s 53%. The average American family owns 1.9 cars.

2. More than 100 million people in the world ride a bicycle. About a third of these people are in China. In the Netherlands, about 30% of people choose to ride a bicycle. But in the USA, it’s only about 5%.

3. In Italy, a country of 60 million people, 9 million people have scooters. In Rome, 500,000 people ride scooters, so they can get about easily in the city traffic.

4. In Italy, the average journey to work is about 25 minutes; and in the USA, it’s about 32 minutes. In Great Britain, it’s about 45 minutes - that’s nearly 200 hours a year travelling to and from work.

5. Every day, more than 1 million people travel into the centre of London: 77% take a bus or train, about 20% drive and only 3% walk to work.

6. There are over 160 underground train systems in the world, including those in Paris, Shanghai, Mexico City, Seoul, Moscow, Madrid and Tokyo.

7. The London Underground, or the ‘Tube’, has 270 stations. Over 1,000 million passengers use the Tube every year.

8. The underground train system in Tokyo is very efficient: people usually wait no more than 2 minutes for a train. The only problem is that it’s sometimes difficult to get on or off a train because they’re often very crowded.

9. The two busiest international airports are Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, USA, with 71 million passengers every year, and Beijing Capital International Airport, with 60 million. That means about 160 people fly to Atlanta every minute.
