00:38report higher satisfaction with public transport, while southern and eastern European cities

00:45exhibit lower satisfaction rates. Satisfaction ranges from 29% in Rome and Tirana to 91% in

00:54Vienna. This disparity is even greater among non-capital cities, with rates varying from 22%

01:02in Italy's Palermo to 95% in Switzerland's Zurich. For the most part, residents of

01:09capital cities tend to have a higher perception of safety in public transport, except Rome.
