The given table illustrates data on the number of people using rail transport, passenger kilometers per head of population and cargo carried in four distinct countries during 2007.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that China was the most popular country among the people who used rail transport, while Canada had the lowest numbers. Moreover, Chinese travelers accounted for the greatest number of passenger-kilometers globally, although Canada recorded the highest volume of cargo transported.
The data suggest that, the maximum number in transporting by rail was observed in China, which was 27 million. In addition, at 1980 km per person, Chin’s residents travelled farther on average than those of any other countries. In contrast, the figures for Malaysia and UAE showed almost similar number in both categories, which made up 5.9 million and 5.5 million in rail passenger numbers, 770 and 780 in per capita passenger-kilometers, respectively. Canada became the least popular country in these segments.
When it comes to the billions of tons of cargo carried, Canada was the top country, with 28.20. However, the remaining nations represented an average share ranging from 21.9 to 23.01.
