where NMAOW is the number of accessible municipalities for one-way journey
and NMATW is the number of accessible municipalities for both-way journey.
The best conditions have municipalities with both the high RA and the low
RMRC (for the same time interval).

The rate of both-way accessible municipalities (RBWA) provides information
about the relative number of accessible municipalities for both-way commuting
on a certain time (h). The zero value highlights municipalities with only one-
way commuting possibilities and simultaneously without destinations with a
suitable return connection. When no one-way commuting exists, RBWA is set to

municipality for both-way commuting has the highest value of RBWA.

Indicators calculated for each municipality have been aggregated to higher
geographical units, successively districts (LAU1), regions (NUTS3) and country
(NUTS0).

3 Public Transport Accessibility in 2011

The average rate of accessible municipalities is 0.44 % in CR, thus only approx. a
half percent of all municipalities within 100 km (Euclidean distance) is available by
public transport under the given conditions (see methodology). The value of RA
oscillates between 0.64 % (interval 4:30 - 5:45 or 6:30 - 7:45) and 0.14 % (interval

20:30 21:45) (Table 2 ). While the rate of accessible municipalities is almost the

same for early morning intervals, it is dramatically decreased to 46 % of the
previous value only 1 h later. Then the indicator reaches 74 % of the maximal RA
