Transport & Vehicles in Denmark
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Few people rely on public transport in Denmark, where cars are essential for almost every household. Most residents depend on private vehicles to get around and get to work, while only a tiny fraction use the town's single bus route.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Almost every home in Denmark has at least one car, with 37.1% owning two. Only 4.1% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is about the same as the Western Australian figure.

Getting to work
How people travel to work.
