Sources of non‐government transport statistics

Abstract

We are, all of us, each and every day, a transport statistic. We probably do not realise the fact. As we purchase the ticket for our journey we are unwittingly entered into some computer system and thereby become a statistic. This, however, does not indicate that ‘Big Brother’ is watching you. The systems currently available would not know you from Adam. Taking a typical example; if you have travelled here by bus today your statistic will look as in Figure 1.
