"Transit data for Bus, Para transit, and other are not continuous from 2006 to 2007. Data for other modes and national aggregates are continuous from 2006 to 2007. Bus and Para transit in these tables refer to a mode of service, not to a specific vehicle type. Para transit service, defined as roadway service directly from an origin to a destination determined by the rider and not following a fixed-route, is usually provided by vans, small buses and in a limited number of cases by large buses. Bus service is a variety of roadway services that share the characteristic of being entirely or partially fixed routes. Bus service includes local service, express service, subscription service, diversionary route service, loop service, and other types. Although bus service is normally provided by buses, it can be provided by smaller vehicles that may be considered large vans.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
