The yellow/light green region indicates that ~50-60% of the surrounding population can reach the main city centre of Newport, Wales using public transit within 45 minutes. The transport performance generally decreases closer to the outskirts of the urban centre. This means a smaller proportion of the surrounding population can reach the dark blue/purple areas using public transit within 45 minutes.

The yellow/light green region indicates that ~50-60% of the surrounding population can reach the main city centre of Newport, Wales using public transit within 45 minutes. The transport performance also generally decreases closer to the outskirts of the urban centre. This means a smaller proportion of the surrounding population can reach the dark blue/purple areas using public transit within 45 minutes. Overall, it provides detailed, hyperlocal, insights into how the performance of the transport networks varies throughout an area. Calculating transport performance requires several stages of input data processing and transport network travel time estimation. The methods and tools used by this Python package are discussed in more detail on the [Transport Performance: An Overview](../calculate_tp/index.qmd) page.
