This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Rwanda statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Rwandan statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Rwandan-specific metadata information.

Indicator available

Percentage of households within 0-19 minutes’ walk of a public transport stage
Indicator description

This indicator uses walking distance to the nearest public transport stage as a measure of convenient access to public transport.
Geographical coverage

Rwanda
Unit of measurement

Percentage (%)
Definitions

This indicator measures the percentage of households within 0-19 minutes’ walk of the nearest public transport stage.
Calculations

Number of households within 0-19 minutes’ walk of a public transport stage / Total number of households * 100
Other information

The data source also contains information on public transport usage rates, and on reasons for not using public transport (too far, poor quality service, no need, infrequent need, too expensive, other).
Comments and limitations

This indicator uses walking distance as a proxy measure for convenient access to public transport. It does not account for other aspects of convenient access, such as cost; accessibility to special-needs customers; frequency of service; or comfort and safety in the transport environment. This indicator may be usefully supplemented by the other measures available in the data source. The global metadata for this indicator suggest a benchmark of 500 m distance from reference points for convenient access, whereas this measure includes walking distances of 0-19 minutes, which can be up to approximately 2 km in distance. Additionally, reflecting the evolving best practice in poverty measurement, a number of important methodological changes were made for EICV7 (2023-2024). Please see the linked data source for more information on methodology.

Indicator name

Proportion of population that has convenient access to public transport, by sex, age and persons with disabilities
Indicator number

11.2.1
Target name

By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons
Target number

11.2
Global indicator description

Access to public transport is considered convenient when an officially recognized stop is accessible within a walking distance along the street network of 500 m from a reference point such as a home, school, work place, market, etc. to a low-capacity public transport system (e.g. bus, Bus Rapid Transit) and/or 1 km to a high-capacity system (e.g. rail, metro, ferry).

Other information

The protocols for collecting data, and the nature and scope of the questions, were relatively similar from EICV1 (1999/2001) through EICV6. Reflecting the evolving best practice in poverty measurement, a number of important methodological changes were made for EICV7 (2023-2024). Please see the linked data source for more information on methodology.
