train_stops

**Full name:** Number of bus stops **Algorithm:** Number of bus stops **Note:** As a common prerequisite for entrepreneurial activity, broadband provision is increasingly becoming a central location factor. Private households also benefit from broadband internet provision, e.g., by enabling work in the "home office." This can facilitate the compatibility of work and family. Broadband provision has become a part of public services and is supported by the state with sometimes significant funds. The data only includes information on broadband provision for private households, which also allows conclusions about broadband provision for companies. On behalf of the BMVI, the broadband atlas is created by different companies. The data until 2017 comes from TÜV Rheinland, 2020 from atene KOM, and 2021 from Mobilfunkinfrastrukturgesellschaft mbH (mig). Since 2022, the data has been published in the Gigabit Register. Due to the change in the data collection agency, there are discrepancies in feature availability. Additionally, there are breaks in the time series due to methodologically different data collection instruments.

The dataset "Traffic and Communication Function" describes the accessibility, public transport services, and basic digital and postal services in German regions. It includes the number of train departures on a weekday and the number of train stations. For bus services, the number of departures on a weekday and the number of bus stops are recorded. Additionally, the number of departures in subway and tram services on a weekday and the number of subway and tram stops are included. For public transport overall, the number of departures at stops on a weekday and the total number of stops are documented.
