Supply/Demand data 2014
The following tables show some figures about the two kinds of public transport supply: railway and buses. It should be noted that while the network length of railway networks is counted as length of tunnel and its stations are, in fact, infrastructure works, the length of bus routes is the sum of all the routes (in one only way), regardless of some routes share a common piece of their path. Moreover, the stops are the sum of all route stops.
