Table explanation


This table contains information regarding the mobility of the residents of the Netherlands aged 6 or older in private households, so excluding residents of institutions and homes. The table contains an overview of the average distance per trip and the average travel time per trip. These are regular trips on Dutch territory, including domestic holiday mobility. The distance travelled is based on stage information. Excluded in this table is mobility based on series of calls trips.

A methodological break has been identified in the 2024 ODiN file.
During the analysis of the data from the "Onderweg in Nederland 2024" (ODiN) survey a methodological break was identified. Several changes were made to the survey in 2024, which likely had an unexpected effect on the 2024 ODiN figures. This means that the 2024 results are not readily comparable with those from previous years. For this reason, the 2024 figures are not being updated in the StatLine tables. More information about the methodological break is available in the ODiN 2024 Plausibility Report (see Chapter 4: "Onderwegen in Nederland" (ODiN) 2024 - Plausibility Report).
Due to a revision of the ODiN files, the figures by motive for 2018 have been changed as of February 10, 2022, but the total number of motives in 2018 has remained the same. In 2019, the revision sometimes resulted in minor changes in travel time.

Data available from: 2018

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final.

Changes as of 4 July 2024:
The figures for year 2023 are added.

When will new figures be published?
More information will follow in 2026.

Description topics

Average distance travelled per trip
The average number of passenger kilometres travelled during regular trips. Regular passenger kilometres by mode of transport have been calculated on the basis of the stage mode so that the distances of means of transport used for pre- and post-transport are also measured separately. For example, in the case of a journey from home to work with successively the bicycle to the station, the train and on foot to the office, the passenger kilometres travelled by a stage mode of transport are assigned to the relevant mode of transport. Kilometres by plane are not counted. The number of trips counted is based on the main mode used in the trip.
Average travel time per trip
The average number of minutes travelled during a trip. To calculate the time travelled per mode the main travel mode of a trip is used. Per example, in case of a trip to work with successively the bicycle to the station, the train and on foot to the office, the entire travel duration of the trip is assigned to the train (main travel mode used in this trip).
