Transport Stats: compare key data on Canada & Mexico

Author: chris.lockyer781

Both countries have very good transportation networks that cover their territories thoroughly, be it land, air or sea. Due to its vastness, airplane is the most common way of travel between major cities in Canada. Canada counts 445 airports with paved runways versus 205 for Mexico. On the other hand, Mexico has more airports with unpaved runways counting 1471 versus 944 for Canada. That is an indicator of a poorer infrastructure of Mexico compared to that of Canada.

Canada is five times bigger in area than Mexico and it has three times more paved roadways and three times more railways. The same proportion applies for the total length of gas and oil pipelines between the two countries.

It should be noted that Mexico has twice more road traffic fatalities than Canada. That is due to a poorer infrastructure, but it is also indicates that Mexico has a greater vehicle flux leading to more accidents which is supported by the fact that Mexico has a higher population density than Canada.

Neither country has a high-speed railway network and Canada is the only G8 country that lacks such a network. However, high-speed railway networks have been proposed for both countries.

Only airports with usable runways are included in this listing. Not all airports have facilities for refueling, maintenance, or air traffic control. The type aircraft capable of operating from a runway of a given length is dependent upon a number of factors including elevation of the runway, runway gradient, average maximum daily temperature at the airport, engine types, flap settings, and take-off weight of the aircraft.

It is assumed that the contract has already been agreed upon and signed by both parties. Documents required for clearance by government ministries, customs authorities, port and container terminal authorities, health and technical control agencies and banks are taken into account. Since payment is by letter of credit, all documents required by banks for the issuance or securing of a letter of credit are also taken into account. Documents that are renewed annually and that do not require renewal per shipment (for example, an annual tax clearance certificate) are not included.

Maritime > Time to import > Days per million: Time to import (days). Time is recorded in calendar days. The time calculation for a procedure starts from the moment it is initiated and runs until it is completed. If a procedure can be accelerated for an additional cost, the fastest legal procedure is chosen. It is assumed that neither the exporter nor the importer wastes time and that each commits to completing each remaining procedure without delay. Procedures that can be completed in parallel are measured as simultaneous. The waiting time between procedures--for example, during unloading of the cargo--is included in the measure. Figures expressed per million population for the same year.

Respondents evaluate eight markets on six core dimensions on a scale from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The markets are chosen based on the most important export and import markets of the respondent's country, random selection, and, for landlocked countries, neighboring countries that connect them with international markets. Details of the survey methodology are in Arvis and others' Connecting to Compete 2010: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy (2010).

To improve data coverage, especially for the latest periods, UNCTAD constructs a set of average prices indexes at the three-digit product classification of the Standard International Trade Classification revision 3 using UNCTADu2019s Commodity Price Statistics, internaxadtional and national sources, and UNCTAD secretariat estimates and calculates unit value indexes at the country level using the current yearu2019s trade values as weights.
