Nigeria Urban Public Transport Accessibility Estimates

United Nations Human Settlements Programme data estimates the share of Nigeria's urban population with walking-distance access to public transport stops. The dataset likely contains metrics for access within 500 meters for low-capacity systems and 1000 meters for high-capacity systems along the street network. It was last updated on 2026-05-06.

Use Cases

• Model urban transport equity based on estimated population access shares.
• Assess public transport network coverage based on walking-distance metrics.
• Prioritize infrastructure investment based on estimated accessibility gaps.
• Benchmark city performance on sustainable mobility goals using the access indicator.

Strengths

• Data is produced by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, an authoritative source.
• Last updated on 2026-05-06, suggesting recent maintenance.
• Available in CSV and XLSX formats for flexible analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale 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 sample data for immediate validation.
