1. A journey can consist of one or more stages. A new stage is defined when there is a change in the form of transport or when there is a change of vehicle requiring a separate ticket.
2. Car drivers were asked "was this part of your trip delayed due to traffic congestion?". No definition of "traffic congestion" is given, so respondents can interpret the term as they wish. Those drivers who said that they had been delayed by traffic congestion were asked "how much time do you think was lost due to traffic congestion?".
