The table below shows information about rail transport in 4 countries in 2007.

The table shows details for four countries concerning the percentage of the population who use the railways, how many kilometers each person travels on average, and the number of tons of cargo the railways carry.

Overall, Chinese people used the railway more than the people of other country and cargo carried more goods in Canada among the given countries.

What is surprising is that very few Americans use rail-less than half of one per cent- and they do not travel far (just 80 kilometers). However, the Canada carries by far the most cargo, nearly 3 thousand billion tons. This contrasts greatly with China, where 27% of the population use rail, and they each travel further (1980 kilometers) than any of the other countries. On the other hand, less than 25 billion tons of freight is carried.

The two countries which are most similar are the Malaysia and UAE. Both have between 5 and 6% of people who use trains, they travel between 770 and 780 kilometers and the amount of freight is approximately the same (22.2 and 21.9 billion tons respectively).
