The Institut d’Estudis Regionals i Metropolitans of Barcelona has published the results of the 2006 Daily mobility Survey. The research was focus on regional patterns of mobility and even though is all about Catalunya you may find useful information.

I strongly believe in look outside our own, daily reality and find out what is going on in the rest of the world. Hope you find this document interesting. 

The Regional Studies Institute is a great source of information and they have a section in English! http://www.iermb.uab.es/
