Number Concept Description
1 Data description In the Urban Audit these variables are included in the domain "Travel patterns". Data on total number of private passenger cars registered (by natural persons, not business, enterprises, so no taxis or hire cars registered by enterprises) to addresses within boundary on the 1st of January of the reference year is provided. This is the total stock of cars, not just new registrations.
In Bulgaria the cost of the combined monthly ticket does not depend on the distance.
The deaths in road accidents are the people who were killed outright or who died within 30 days as a result of the accident.                                          
2 Classification used • Unified Classification of Administrative-Territorial and Territorial Units (UCATTU)                                               
3 Coverage Data on the number of private cars registred in the eight cities concern their number in the corresponding municipalities. Urban Audit covers all cases of death in road accidents  in the eight cities, their Larger Urban Zones and the country as a whole during the reference year. The variable "Cost of the combined monthly ticket" is not applicable to the city of Vidin because prior to 2010 there is no public transpot.
