Urban Public Transport Accessibility in Niger

Niger's estimated share of urban population with access to public transport stops within a walking distance of 500 meters for low-capacity systems or 1000 meters for high-capacity systems 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.

Use Cases

• Assess urban public transport coverage based on estimated walking distance accessibility.
• Model equitable access to transit infrastructure based on population share metrics.
• Compare low-capacity and high-capacity transport system reach based on the 500m/1000m thresholds.

Strengths

• Produced by a UN agency (UN-Habitat), indicating an authoritative source.
• Data is recent, with a last update timestamp of 2026-05 06 22:28:17.967852.
• Available in common, accessible formats (CSV, XLSX).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description is specific but lacks details on the estimation methodology or temporal coverage.
