Notes: Data on passenger and freight transport exist for other Central and Eastern European countries (eg, Romania and Lithuania) but originate from other data sources and are only partially complete. It is not possible to indicate figures for the total annual average growth, as data refer to different years.

  1. former Yugoslavia: transport for hire and reward only
  2. 1975
  3. as data are only available for Hungary for private cars it is impossible to give a complete picture of the passenger traffic situation for these countries
  4. data on private cars only available for Hungary
