1 Where a journey involves more than one mode of transport (e.g. a bus, then a train), the main mode is defined as the one used for the longest (in distance) stage.

2 The questionnaire was changed in 2012 and as a result more walking journeys are recorded so there is a break in the time series between 2011 and 2012.
