I would definitely ask the client to clarify what is meant here.

A lot of transport studies use the word journey and trip as interchangeable terms it could just be that, or else a journey could consist of lots of 'trips' eg bus + train is one journey but two trips

Its about Strasbourg

ask the client - it may be in-house vocabulary

But is it possible to tell us which town this concerns ? Maybe there are ways of working it out

In this case, i don't think the numbers add up. Looking at the figures, that would surely mean each bus/tram only carried a couple of passengers.

vehicle movements and movements of people i.e. the number of runs made by the buses or whatever and the number of journeys made on them by the population.
"fréquentation" is usually "ridership" but here...??? It could be "load factor"

That is the only thing I had come up with before i decided to post it as a question

Using the numbers provided as a clue, I think "déplacements" could be the number of complete journeys, while "voyages" would be each use of a means of transport. So, if I take a bus and then a tram to get to work, it would count as two "voyages" but just one "déplacement". However, there isn't enough information to be certain.

Maybe déplacements = journeys,trips; voyages = usages of different transport facilities, i.e. incl. changing bus to tram etc within journeys.

There is a *possibility* these stats refer only to bus travel, but the author does not make it clear at all.
