Notes:	(5)	The whole series of RMB patronage figures for the period from January 2003 to November 2004 was revised in February 2005. Figures before 2003 are estimated based on the results of the Survey on Patronage of Public Light Buses conducted in 1997, while those for 2003 and after are based on the results of a similar survey conducted in end 2002. Due to limitation of data, the figures cannot fully reflect the fluctuations in RMB patronage over the months.
	(6)	Figures include estimated number of passengers in vehicles carried by the vehicular ferry services.
	(7)	The ferry service licences of the Hongkong & Yaumati Ferry Co. Ltd. were transferred to the New World First Ferry Services Ltd. starting from 15.1.2000. Starting from February 2000, the passenger journeys did not include estimated number of passenger journeys in vehicles carried by vehicular ferry services.

Notes:	(8)	The whole series of taxi patronage figures for the period from January 1989 to November 2004 was revised in February 2005. Figures for the months since February 2003 are estimated using the taxi operating data of the corresponding month. Since similar data were not available for earlier months, figures for these months were revised only based on some crude assumptions; they therefore cannot fully reflect the fluctuations in taxi patronage in these months.
	(9)	The whole series of total public transport patronage figures for the period from January 1989 to November 2004 was revised in February 2005 owing to the revisions in taxi and RMB patronage. Please refer to footnotes (5) and (8) for details.
