Official Statistics: Daily domestic transport use by mode

Daily usage of selected domestic transport by mode for Great Britain.

Our statistical practice is regulated by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). OSR sets the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics that all producers of official statistics should adhere to. You are welcome to contact us directly by emailing [email protected] with any comments about how we meet these standards.

These statistics on transport use are published monthly.

For each day, the Department for Transport (DfT) produces statistics on domestic transport:

The associated methodology notes set out information on the data sources and methodology used to generate these headline measures.

From September 2023, these statistics include a second rail usage time series which excludes Elizabeth Line service (and other relevant services that have been replaced by the Elizabeth line) from both the travel week and its equivalent baseline week in 2019. This allows for a more meaningful like-for-like comparison of rail demand across the period because the effects of the Elizabeth Line on rail demand are removed. More information can be found in the methodology document.

The department has reviewed this statistical publication series and identified changes we believe would increase the value of the series for users. These changes are detailed in the Planned changes to the Daily domestic transport use by mode publication document, and a survey was ran to gather user feedback between Wednesday 10 June and Thursday 16 July 2026.

A summary of user feedback and the department’s response will be published on the Daily domestic transport use by mode user engagement 2026 page in due course.
