Democratization of public transportation since 1820
The study deals with the variations of caravan traffic, i.e. the number of departed horses per year in the whole country and in various counties (1855-1906) and in tax charge districts and at single inns (about 1820-1920). Furthermore the variations in sea passenger traffic, i.e. yearly incomes for 66 passenger vessels in domestic traffic during the period of 1860 to 1920. Above this there is information on opening and closing hours per year of Göta Kanal and Trollhätte Kanal and the person kilometers of the railways.
Includes all types of goods transport as well as commuting, public transport (trains, buses, underground etc), and urban transport networks. Data on mobility habits, for example, cross-border shopping, routes and means used to access a location. Use note: For travel for leisure, use the topic 'Leisure, tourism and sport'.
Use note: In addition to this broader topic, use another topic for historical data. Example: for data on the working environments of family doctors in the 1960s, use HISTORY and 'Working conditions' plus 'Health care services and policies'. Use the HISTORY topic on its own only if a more specific topic cannot be found in this vocabulary.
