Notes:	(1)	MTR Lines include Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line, Tung Chung Line, Disneyland Resort Line, Tseung Kwan O Line, East Rail Line, West Rail Line, Ma On Shan Line, South Island Line, Intercity Through Train and the Hong Kong Section of the Express Rail Link (XRL).
	(2)	Excluding passengers on free ride days and specific groups of passengers enjoying free rides on selected days.
	(3)	No regular return is collected from operators of RMB. As such, RMB patronage figures are estimated based on the results of the Comprehensive Surveys on Red Minibus Services, having regard to the number of licensed RMB and the number of days in the respective months, and cannot reflect short term fluctuation in passenger journeys. The estimated RMB patronage figures should not be taken as an accurate representation of the actual RMB patronage.
	(4)	Ferries include franchised and licensed services but exclude Kaitos.
	(5)	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.
	There may be a slight discrepancy between the sum of individual items and the total owing to rounding.
