  1. Note: Trip chain is defined as a series of trips with the starting and ending locations both at home.
  2. *The percentages in brackets show the average proportions of time spent for travel and for each type of in-home and out-of-home activity.
  3. These numbers show the standard deviation and range of the reported scale of respondents’ self-assessed health conditions. Since the factor score is nominal, the range is given in bracket to show the nature of the figures
