Rapid Transit Database
ITDP’s new Atlas of Sustainable City Transport has replaced the Rapid Transport Database. The Atlas is easier to use and it’s more detailed. It includes measurements of People Near Transport, the number of people living within walking distance of rapid transport, which is a more sophisticated metric than the information included in the Rapid Transport Database. Learn more about the Atlas and related resources here.
Rapid transit is the backbone of public transportation, especially in large cities, because it allows people to travel quickly between different neighborhoods. It functions best as part of a larger urban mobility system that includes walking and cycling. The Rapid Transit Database (RTDB) is a collection of all rapid transit corridors worldwide that relies on data collected from government sources and publicly available news sources. The RTDB was developed by ITDP and is updated annually. View the full database here.
