NOTES
BTS
is developing more comprehensive and reliable estimates of tonne-kilometers
for the air, truck, rail, water, and pipeline modes than are presented in
table 1-46a. These improved estimates
are not comparable to data in table 1-46a.
Improved estimates for 1960-1989, which will allow more comprehensive
and reliable data for the entire period from 1960 to present, are still under
development and will be reported when they are completed.
Numbers may
not add to totals due to rounding.
1.459972
tonne-kilometers = 1 ton mile.
