According to the preliminary data of Statistics Estonia, in 2007 the usage of services of passenger transport enterprises remained on the same level compared to 2006.
The carriage of goods by road transport enterprises increased and by rail decreased compared to the previous year, Railway Market-CEE Review reports referring to Statistics Estonia.
In 2007, the number of passengers carried by Estonian transport enterprises was around 213 million. 97% of passengers were carried in domestic traffic as in previous years.
The number of passengers in domestic traffic was 207 million. 93% of them used road transport (incl. city transport by buses, trams and trolley buses). The number of road transport passengers in domestic traffic was about the same as in 2006. The number of passengers in domestic traffic by sea and by rail increased by 15% and by 3%, respectively. Air transport was used 15% less on domestic flights compared to 2006.
The amount of passengers in international traffic was 6 million, as much as in 2006. The carriage of passengers in international traffic was most influenced by sea and air transport. Over 4 million passengers (6% more than a year earlier) used the services of sea transport enterprises, over 1 million passengers (22% less than in the previous year) used the services of air transport. Around 1 million passengers used road transport in international traffic, where the increase was the biggest (9%). 150,000 passengers used rail transport in international passenger traffic, about 5% more than a year ago.
The volume of goods is best characterised by freight turnover in tonne-kilometres. In 2007, the volume of goods carried by Estonian transport enterprises was 20.4 billion tonne-kilometres or 1% less than a year ago. 10.6 billion tonne-kilometres of goods were carried by road and 8.4 billion by rail transport enterprises. Sea transport accounted for 1.4 billion tonne-kilometres. In road transport the freight turnover increased by a fifth, but in rail transport decreased by a fifth compared to 2006.
In domestic traffic the freight turnover was 3.3 billion tonne-kilometres, increasing by about a fourth compared to the previous year. Road traffic accounted for three fourths of domestic traffic.
The freight turnover of international traffic was 17.1 billion tonne-kilometres or 84% of the total freight turnover. The freight turnover of international traffic decreased 4% compared to the previous year. The freight turnover of international traffic was mainly influenced by road and rail transport where the freight turnover increased 20% and decreased 22%, respectively, compared to the previous year.
