NOTE: Directional route-miles is the mileage in each direction over which public transportation vehicles travel while in revenue service.  Directional route-miles are a measure of the facility or roadway, not the service carried on the facility such as the number of routes or vehicle-miles.  Directional route-miles are computed with regard to direction of service, but without regard to the number of traffic lanes or rail tracks existing in the right-of-way.
