| Summary: | Transportation systems are closely related to socioeconomic development thanks to the ease of access they provide. The efficiency of awell-coordinated transportation system plays an important role for sustainable growth. Countries in Europe comparable to Türkiye in terms of population and size and Türkiye were compared in terms of transportation network, passenger and freight transportation for road, rail, sea and air transportation types. The countries for which general data were compiled are Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland and the United Kingdom, as well as Türkiye. Since the data on airline and sea modes in the modal distributions is not available for all analyzed countries, only the mode shares in land transportation (road and railway) were examined. The results show that Türkiye holds a dominant position in road transportation but has significant potential for development in rail transport. When the annual data series are examined, it is concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic significantly changed the data structure in 2020. The results are generally attributable to the development level of the countries. The study explains Türkiye ’s situation compared to developed European countries. |
