11.23%	Natural reserves
9.19%	Roads
6.84%	Settlements
3.84%	Highways

According to Public transport probability, using OpenStreetMap data, there is a 27.58% chance of the hash landing within 2km of a train station, or 47.45% chance of it landing within 2km of a train or bus stop.

Increasing the search to a 5km radius, there's a 68.63% chance of it landing within 5km of a train station, or 81.61% chance of it landing within 5km of a train or bus stop.

Basically, this means that when being out there, you should go and map those thousands of missing bus stops.
