The influence due to pandemic policy measures or infection risks was generally greater during the winter months than in summer, as shown in the ‘Microcensus Mobility and Transport 2021’ report from the canton of Aargau published on Thursday.
In the summer, 39 kilometers were covered, almost the same distance as the last measurement in 2015. In the winter, the distance fell from 34 to 25 kilometers per day. From 1994 to 2005, daily travel time rose to 104 minutes and has fallen again since then.
Although on average 20 percent fewer kilometers were traveled in 2021, travel times fell less dramatically: according to the report, people spent 78 minutes on the road – ten percent less than in 2015.
The 4,500 respondents spent about half of their time on the road for leisure. The share of leisure activities in the average time spent on the road is 51 percent. As is the trend throughout Switzerland, this has again increased slightly.
Big differences between city and country
The cross-sectional street counts and the number of passengers on public transport indicate that traffic has normalized since the last pandemic measures were lifted, the report said.
In urban communities, 78 percent of households own a car. In medium and rural communities this was 92 percent of households.
The reverse is the case when owning a public transport subscription. More people had subscriptions in urban communities than in rural communities. On average, 52 percent of residents had a subscription. Subscriptions to public transport were most widespread among 16 to 24 year olds at 78 percent. (SDA)
