Key: kWh = kilowatt hour; N = data do not exist;
R = revised; P = preliminary.
a Prior to 1984, the
data in this table include the energy consumption of bus, heavy rail, light
rail and trolley bus. Commuter rail, automated guideway, urban ferryboat,
demand responsive vehicles, and most rural and smaller systems are excluded
from the data during this period.
b Other nondiesel fuels
includes consumption of propane (liquid petroleum gas) for years prior to
1984. For 1984 and after, other nondiesel fuels includes propane (liquid
petroleum gas), liquefied natural gas, and other (bio/soy fuel, biodiesel,
hydrogen, methanol, ethanol and various blends). Therefore, the data prior to
1984 are not comparable to the data for 1984 and after.
