This statistic shows the extent to which respondents of a survey carried out in March 2013 in the United Kingdom (UK) agree that they would travel (more) by bus if the bus was the only means by which to get to a destination. Half of bus users agreed that they would use the bus more and two thirds of non-users agreed that they would start to use the bus if this was the case.
