The data from the population census gives more detailed information about the people who com- mute between different towns. The extent of the persons commuting is naturally re­ lated to the size of the towns and the number of locally available jobs. It is therefore not surprising that cities, which have the largest pop­ ulations and which are the most important economic centres (the two capitals: Bratislava and Wien but also Brno, Győr and Sankt Pölten) attract most of the commut­ ers.
