Urban Public Transport Accessibility in Mozambique

Estimated share of urban population with access to public transport stops within a 500-meter or 1000-meter walking distance along the street network. The dataset was produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Data and Analytics Section and was last updated on May 6, 2026. It is available in CSV and XLSX formats under the PDDL-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling urban accessibility to public transport based on walking distance thresholds.
• Assessing equity in transport infrastructure distribution across urban areas.
• Planning public transit network expansions based on coverage gaps.
• Benchmarking city performance on sustainable development goals related to transport.

Strengths

• Produced by a UN agency (UN-Habitat), suggesting an authoritative source for urban indicators.
• Specifically measures accessibility using defined walking distance thresholds (500m/1000m).
• Data is available in common, machine-readable formats (CSV, XLSX).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description is high-level; actual data granularity and methodology require inspection.
