Public Transit Lab
United Kingdom's public transit
3.7/ 5
A measured 0-5 score of how much of daily life is reachable without a car, built from GTFS timetables and OpenStreetMap across 65.4M residents — the measured urban footprint of United Kingdom's 365 scored agglomerations.
Who can reach transit, by mode
Residents within about 800 m of each mode, as a share of United Kingdom's measured urban footprint. Bars overlap — a resident near both a metro and a bus stop counts in both.
Near-universal — what separates cities is how often the bus comes, not whether there's a stop.
Coverage means a stop within walking distance. It does not mean frequent service.
