Passenger Ground Transportation Data for Market Researchers

Geography stacks in four tiers. The National Transit Database and the National Household Travel Survey cover the United States; New York and Chicago publish regulator-filed trip censuses; Eurostat harmonises EU27 plus EFTA from 1990, Transport for London reports from 1996 and Great Britain's bus series reach back to 1950; the Mobility Database scopes 6,487 feeds across 94 countries.

Quality trades up too: the slice averages 9.1 out of 10 against the 7.81 catalog-wide mean, and 13 of the 14 score 8 or higher versus 62.8% catalog-wide. Sector context sits on the passenger-ground-transportation data hub.

All fourteen qualifying records, ranked by relevance to the persona, then Datadory's 0-10 quality score. Size US travel demand and trip purpose with the nationally representative survey fielded 1969-2022. 3. Size and benchmark US public-transit markets by mode and metro from the congressionally mandated census. 4. Quantify NYC taxi versus Uber/Lyft market share, fares and zone-level demand with the definitive public trip census. 5. Size local labor sheds and transit markets with county-to-county flow tables down to block groups. 7. Quantify Chicago taxi market size, fares and distance distributions from near-census municipal reporting. 8. Size the Chicago ride-hailing market from ordinance-mandated near-census TNP reporting (2018-2026). 9. Benchmark EU27 plus EFTA passenger transport by mode with harmonized official statistics from 1990. 11. Quantify NYC transit demand by mode with daily next-day-published estimates. 12. Benchmark GB bus patronage, mileage and fares by country, region and local authority with comparability back to the 1950s. 13. Locate which US agencies publish schedules when scoping transit-market studies.

National Transit Database (NTD) Monthly & Annual Ridership Datasets is the headline number for US transit: the Congressionally mandated census carries about 370,000 monthly rows across 834 distinct agency IDs, unlinked trips by agency, mode and type-of-service back to January 2002. American Community Survey - Journey to Work / Commuting Data supplies the demand side - county-to-county flow tables down to block group from Table B08301, annual since 2005 and current through the 2020-2024 5-year release.

National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) adds the nationally representative behavioural layer, fielded nine times between 1969 and 2022; the 2022 public-use core holds 7,893 household and 31,074 trip records. BTS Open Data Portal - Passenger Travel Collection frames cross-border and intercity context, with border-crossing entries current through July 2026 on a monthly cycle alongside bikeshare, ferry and Amtrak station tables.

NYC TLC Trip Record Data (Yellow/Green Taxi & FHV/HVFHV Uber/Lyft) is the definitive taxi-versus-Uber/Lyft record: monthly Parquet files of every yellow trip since January 2009, green since August 2013, for-hire vehicles since 2015 and high-volume FHV since February 2019, coded across 258 TLC taxi zones. Chicago Transportation Network Providers Trips (Uber/Lyft/Via) mirrors it in Chicago under municipal ordinance - roughly 139 million rows in the 2025-and-later table alone - while Chicago Taxi Trips contributes about 1.7 billion taxi rows.

CTA Ridership - Daily Boarding Totals logs systemwide daily bus and rail boardings back to January 2001, and MTA Daily Ridership Data: Beginning 2020 publishes next-day estimates across nine modes from March 2020 onward, subway through congestion-relief-zone traffic.
