1. Views on local bus service are sought only from those who said that they had used a local bus service in the past month. Those who had not used a local bus service in the past month are not asked these questions about bus services. The interviewer says "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements? Generally, when I use the bus …"
2. Counting both those who "strongly agree" and those who "tend to agree". The base (100%) is all those who had used the service in the past month (including those who said "neither agree nor disagree" or "no opinion"). Therefore, the difference between a figure and 100% is not the same as the percentage of users of the service who disagreed with the relevant statement.
