Notes:	(1)	The operations of the MTR and KCRC were merged on 2.12.2007. Afterwards, the counting of passenger journey for passengers making railway interchanges at Kowloon Tong, Mei Foo, Nam Cheong, Tsim Sha Tsui and East Tsim Sha Tsui stations was different. Hence, the figures after the merger are not strictly comparable with those of earlier figures.
	(2)	MTR Lines include Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan, Island, Tung Chung, Disneyland Resort, Tseung Kwan O, East Rail, West Rail, Ma On Shan Lines and Intercity.

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)	Ferries include franchised services and licensed services but excludes Kaitos.

Notes:	(7)	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.
	(8)	Residents' services are services provided by or on behalf of the management, residents or owners of any residential development for the carriage of passengers to or from the residential development. Residents' services are a type of non-franchised public bus services. Non-franchised public buses also provide tour service, hotel service, student service, employees' service, international passenger service and contract hire service. But since relevant data is not available, the patronage figures for these services cannot be provided.
	(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 (7) for details.
	There may be a slight discrepancy between the sum of individual items and the total owing to rounding.
