This indicator highlights the extent to which the population has access to public transport within a distance of 500 meters from their residence. The level of access to public transport is classified into five service levels: Very high – access to at least 10 departures per hour, as well as the possibility of using more than one type of public transport, typically a combination of bus and train or ferry. High – access to at least 10 departures per hour. Medium – access to 4–9 departures per hour. Low – access to fewer than 4 departures per hour but still some availability. None – no access to public transport within 500 meters walking distance. The assessment was conducted for a typical working day in December 2019, in March 2023 and 2025, between 6:00 and 20:00. The indicator was calculated by Statistics Denmark based on stop data from Rejseplanen, road data from Kortforsyningen, and population data from the CPR register and Statistics Denmark’s own urban classification.

According to the UN definition, the indicator should also be disaggregated by disability status. However, in Denmark, it is not possible to make such a disaggregation.

The Danish Institute for Human Rights’ Disability Barometer covers the most important areas of society, including accessibility & mobility.
