Notes:  (1) The operations of the MTR and KCRC were merged on 2 December 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) From 2 December 2007, the East Rail and West Rail of the former KCRC have been merged under MTR. Since then, 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. MTR Disneyland Resort Line was introduced on 1 August 2005. MTR Tseung Kwan O Line LOHAS Park Station was opened on 26 July 2009 while West Rail Line Austin Station was opened on 16 August 2009. MTR Island Line HKU Station and Kennedy Town Station were opened on 28 December 2014.
(3) Lok Ma Chau Spur Line was introduced on 15 August 2007.
(4) Figures for 2013 and onwards are revised to take into account the results of the Comprehensive Surveys on Red Minibus Services conducted in 2013. Due to limitation of data, the figures cannot fully reflect the fluctuations in RMB patronage over the months.
(5) Ferries include franchised and licensed services but excludes Kaitos.
(6) 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 are not available, the patronage figures for these services cannot be provided.
(7) Peak tramway is basically a tourist and recreational facility and its patronage is not included in the public transport statistics starting from the reference month of January 2014. The public transport statistics from 1989 to 2013 is revised accordingly in March 2014.
^ Some services of franchised buses, Hong Kong Tramways, public light buses, taxis and residents' services were suspended or diverted due to closure of some main roads in urban areas from 28 September to 15 December 2014. The Hong Kong Tramways figures exclude passengers who were provided with Free Tram Transfers and passengers using the free-of-charge circular route between Victoria Park and Paterson Street due to blockade of the tram tracks.
There may be a slight discrepancy between the sum of individual items and the total owing to rounding.
