rail, public bus, commuter bus and train, subway/elevated train,
streetcar/trolley, ship, taxi, limousine, shuttle, or bicycle.
Family/personal business includes, e.g., medical visits, picking people up or
dropping them off, banking. Social/recreational includes visiting friends and
relatives, going to the movies or other entertainment, vacation trips, or
participating in sports activities. Work (commute) trips are those to and

job other than to or from the place of work, but do not include such
occupational trips as driving a taxi, bus, or delivery truck.
