A bulletin of public transport statistics: Great Britain: 2003 edition
This bulletin continues the annual series of Transport Statistics Bulletins with long time series tables of data for land-based public transport in GB. This edition shows series for:
- Local buses
- Non-local buses and coaches
- Light rail, trams and metro systems
- National Rail
- Taxis
The bulletin includes data from the 2002/03 survey of Public Service Vehicle operators, bus and rail data from Transport for London, data from the Strategic Rail Authority and from other rail and tram operators. It also summarises data from users of public transport, from the National Travel Survey 1999-2001 and the DfT quarterly Bus Passenger Satisfaction Survey. The quarterly Bus Reliability Survey of scheduled mileage run is also summarised here.
The bulletin uses tables and some charts to illustrate the main trends and compare those of various modes. Summary data also appear here from the SRA's quarterly National Rail Trends.
National Statistics
With the exception of National Rail figures in Tables 1 to 6, 9, 22, 23, 24 and 25, all data in this Bulletin are National Statistics.

It is not possible to publish all of the information that has been collected, to protect commercial confidentiality of transport operators and also because of constraints on the size and production cost of the bulletin. Some data can be found on the DfT Transport Statistics website (see below). Some unpublished material is available on request, subject to resources and confidentiality constraints.
