Counting of Visits: The statistics represent the number of visits or passenger journeys, not the number of unique individuals. Therefore, individuals who travel multiple times within the reporting period are counted on each occasion.
Estimates and Rounding: These figures are estimates derived from sample surveys and are subject to sampling variability. The data are rounded to the nearest 100 to reflect the inherent uncertainty. As a result, the sum of individual components may not precisely match the reported totals.
