1. The apparent year-to-year fluctuations in some of the figures may be due to sampling variability.
2. Those who had made a trip of more than quarter of a mile for the specified purpose on at least one of the previous seven days
3. Employed adults (aged 16+) not working from home
4. Figures may not match exactly with previously published data as an improved weighting methodology has been introduced (accounting for non-response bias).
Generally this has revised the figures downwards slightly with a larger impact on more recent data - without altering the overall trends.
