For example, when expenditure is presented on a \u201cper head of population\u201d (or \u201cper capita\u201d) basis, it does not account for the pressure that large numbers of commuters and visitors from outside of a region can add to the transport networks. In addition, larger built-up areas (such as London) tend to make greater use of mass public transport systems, and these will generate fares income which contributes to their operating costs.<\/p> <\/p> Statistics for public sector capital expenditure by region of England are given in Table 1 below. Table 2 provides the equivalent statistics per capita. Capital expenditure has been used as a proxy for spending on infrastructure specifically, but may include some capital investment beyond transport infrastructure projects.<\/p> <\/p> Table 1: Total capital spending on all transport, by all public sector bodies (£millions nominal)<\/em><\/p>
