** Cell values supressed as percentage figure based on less than 5 responses

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?".

3. Three years' data are combined, whereas in previous year just one year's data was given. There was little change over the years, and combining gives fewer suppressed values.

4. These figures differ from those used for the national indicator in TD10 as they do not remove "don't know" responses
