The table shows details for four countries concerning the percentage of the population who use the railways, how many kilometers each person travels on average, and the number of tons of cargo the railways carry.
What is surprising is that very few Canadians use rail- less than half of one percent- and they do not travel far (just 80 kilometers). However, Canada carries by far the most cargo, nearly 3 thousand billion tons. This contrasts greatly with China, where 27% of the population used rail, and they each traveled further (1980 kilometers) than any of the other countries. On the other hand, less than 25 billion tons of freight was carried.
The two most similar countries are Malaysia and UAE. Both have between 5 and 6% of people who use trains, they travel between 770 and 780 kilometers and the amount of freight is approximately the same (22. 2 and 21. 9 billion tons respectively).
In general, it can be seen that while citizens of Canada use rail transport the least, they transport the most amount of cargo by rail.
