KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; kWh = kilowatt hour;
N = data do not exist; P = preliminary; R = revised.
a Prior to 1985, excludes commuter rail, automated
guideway, urban ferryboat, demand responsive vehicles, and most rural and smaller
systems.
b For 1992-96, includes propane, liquid petroleum
gas, liquefied natural gas, kerosene, and all other nondiesel fuels except compressed
natural gas. 1960 to 1991 data include propane. Series not contiguous between
1991 and 1992.
NOTES: The heat equivalent factors used in Btu conversions
are: diesel = 138,700 Btu/gallon; electric = 3,412 Btu/kWh, negating electrical
system loses (to include electrical system loses, multiply this conversion factor
by approximately three) gasoline = 125,000 Btu/gallon.
In January 2000, the American Public Transit Association changed
its name to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). The Transit
Fact Book is now referred to as the Public Transportation Fact Book.
