1. The apparent year-to-year fluctuations in some of the figures may be due to sampling variability.
2. Employed adults (aged 16+) not working from home
3. The Travel diary methodology changed in 2007 and in 2012, creating a break in the time series.
4. Tram journeys were not included in previous publications. They have now been added, and the 2016 figure is 0.1% higher than previous published.
5. From 2012 Q4 the question was changed to ask about access to cars / vans instead of just cars.
6. Data published in 2015 erroneously included a value of 12.5 because of the exclusion of vans; this table contains the revised data.
