Reykjavik, Iceland: More pople use bicycles as mode of transport

People‘s travel behaviour has chanced since the eonomic collapse in 2008 according to results reflected in a report made for the Ministry of transport. Less people use a private car and proportionally more walk or use a bicycle.

According to the report the current traffic is level with traffic statistics in 2006, two years before the economic collapse.

Today more people are sympathetic to improved public transport, paths for pedestrians and cyclists instead of adding more roads to the road transport system.
