Key assessment
The level of car ownership is growing rapidly in the EEA-31, especially in countries with relatively low car ownership levels, like the acceding countries (AC) and the candidate countries (CC). Increasing private vehicle ownership has proven to lead to increased usage of private vehicles and might have the opposite effect on public transport usage.The number of trucks - strongly related to economic development - also increased considerably, in particular in the AC and CC, reflecting the greater dependence of their transport systems on road transport
