It costs most to travel by bus, tram or subway, taxi and train in Western Europe and North America.
In Germany, a second class train journey over 200 kilometers costs an average of $79 (US dollars) – around 65 per cent more than the Western European average, according to a UBS study.
In Zurich or Geneva, you might think twice about taking a taxi to get to your destination. In both cities a five-kilometer inner-city trip during the day costs around $28.
The global average, by contrast, is approximately $10. In Oslo and Copenhagen, a journey of ten kilometers or ten stops with the bus, tram or subway costs over $4.80.
