1ST / ZURICH
Our respondents’ experience of living in Zurich has placed the Swiss city at the top of the transport category. There are many good reasons to understand and justify this, such as the precision of the various local train lines that connect the entire city with very good routes. Not only that, but the frequency with which these trains run is also very high, which helps to ensure that you never have to wait longer than necessary to make the journey.
2ND / MADRID
The capital has a combined ticket that provides convenient access to the metro and bus, although it is important for those moving to Madrid to find out about the routes and fares applicable in each case. A rechargeable Multi card is required for travel, which provides a practical way of getting around all parts of the city.
3RD / BERLIN
Berlin is the third best European city in terms of public transport, something it achieves because of the positive impressions of those who use its efficient combined system of different methods of travel. The city’s vast map and size is easily covered by rail, metro, trams, buses and ferries.
4TH / COPENHAGUEN
Copenhagen’s different methods of transport are unified under one type of ticket. This includes metro, bus, trains and the Harbour Bus boat service. Using them makes it possible to get around the city at any time in most areas of the city, no matter what time of day it is, as the map of the Danish capital is intelligently covered.
5TH / VIENNA
Unlike other European cities, Vienna has a good perception of its transport system. Although the traditional reliance on its 30 tram lines has been mentioned in numerous transport responses, it is also an element that is easy to get used to.
6TH / ROTTERDAM
Our respondents gave Rotterdam sixth place in the public transport ranking. It achieves this by means of a good structure in which there are both train, metro and tram systems. The latter two transport systems are most efficient when combined, as they make it possible to reach practically every corner of the city.
7TH / MUNICH
The transport network that Munich provides for its residents covers a large number of areas of the city so that it is possible to get around comfortably. This has led to Munich appearing in the survey results in seventh place in the public transport ranking, which puts the German city in good stead.
8TH / PARIS
Le plus important dans les transports publics parisiens est que tickets are standardised for all services. This simplifies travel management. With the same transport ticket you can take the bus, metro or tram. It is also compatible with the funicular. However, according to the data collected, Paris does not have the best public transport system in Europe, ranking eighth in the table, just behind Munich.
9TH / STOCKHOLM
The results of our survey of more than 25,000 people put Stockholm in ninth place in the public transport ranking. The reason for this is the very efficient connection between the different transport systems throughout the city.
10TH / GENEVA
Geneva is ranked tenth in Europe in terms of public transport thanks to its combination of different forms of transport, such as bus, tram, trolleybus and its characteristic boats for crossing between different points. There is no metro, but the tramway fulfils this function and has very modern lines and trains.
