[sustran] International Comparisons - Help Please!

[Alan Howes]

I have just discovered that I have a presentation to make in not much more than 24 hours, to an audience of Mumbai decision-formers.  Working title - ""Urban transport - learning from the mistakes of others".  It's stretching my core specialisation a bit (Public Transport / Buses), and as I am in Mumbai I don't have access to reference sources back in the office (which are pretty UK-oriented anyway).
 
So I am looking for some (on-line) data on international transport comparisons - preferably urban rather than rural.  Things like - 
- Cars owned per head
- Car USAGE per head
- %age urban area devoted to roads
- pollution levels / greenhouse gas emissions
- Modal share data
 
Trend data would be useful too.
 
It may well be that a lot of what I am looking for is in the UITP's Millennium Cities Database - but the problem is it is not available on-line, and the summary data I have from it is back at the ranch (and possibly corrupted).
 
I am currently looking at Todd Litman's VTPI page "Why Manage Transportation Demand?" http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm51.htm , which has plenty of appropriate words but not many numbers - it has plenty of links though, some of which may well be useful.  And I will also look at SUTP.  But if anyone can give me a more precise steer, I would be most grateful.
