摘要

This study shows that mobility in Switzerland is highly unequal. Based on Swiss Mobility and Transport Microcensus data (years 2015 and 2021), we find that a small percentage of individuals accounts for a disproportionately large share of total travel. Machine learning reveals that sociodemographic and spatial features have limited predictive power for daily domestic travel distance. The findings highlight the need for more nuanced perspectives that go beyond population averages.
