NOTES
All Countries
"Air: The U.S. total for air represents both air carriers and general aviation. However, only the large certificated air carriers are included."
"See Appendix B for a more complete explanation. The Mexican air total represents only scheduled air carriers. However, nonscheduled"
and general aviation represent a very small share of passenger travel in Mexico. Canadian data for total air activity are nonexistent
because data for general aviation are not collected.
Road: Data do not include passenger travel by commercial freight vehicles.
"Transit and water transport: For the United States, ferry activity is included in the total for transit. For Mexico, data for overall transit"
"activity are nonexistent because the data are not collected. However, Mexican data for water transport do represent ferry activity."
Canadian data for transit overall and ferry activity are nonexistent because the data are not collected.
Canada
"Air carriers: Includes level I to III Canadian air carriers. For a definition of these, see Appendix B."
Mexico
Air: Data for general aviation are not included in the air total.
Intercity bus: Data refer to intercity buses utilizing Mexico’s federal highway system.,
United States,
"Passenger-miles, total: Is not the sum of the subcategories because local motor bus is included in both the road and transit totals. This",
double counting has been removed from the overall total.,
