Vilnius, Lithuania, has the cheapest public transport in Europe
The new study analysed the price of bus, tram, metro, and train tickets in 50 of the most populated European cities.
The study considered both the cost of single tickets and 24-hour tickets.
To work out which cities have the most expensive public transport systems, it considered the price of a single ticket for one adult.
Where specific zones were necessary to specify in order to gain a ticket price, they analysed the zones covering the smallest central zone available in the city (for example, Zone 1 in London, or AB in Berlin).
The study considered the prices of travelling via bus, metro, train, and tram.
In some cities, not all transport types were available, so an average was taken from the prices that were available.
Aarhus in Denmark has the most expensive public transport in Europe.
A single ticket, taking an average from all transport types, costs €6.20 (£5.40) in the city.
