  1. Motor based daily trips included measures of frequency of use of a private car as a driver, as a passenger, car sharing, motorcycles/scooters and taxis. For means of comparison, in the two lines below, the mean values (M) and standard deviations (SD) for private car as a driver and car sharing are reported. The statistics reported in nationalities represent the number of respondents per mobility style (N) as well as the percentage that this amount represents within the mobility style (%). Other countries include Germany, Belgium, France, Spain and other European countries
