NOTES
BTS developed a more comprehensive and reliable estimates of ton-miles for the Air, Truck, Rail, Water, and Pipeline modes than are presented in table 1-49. These improved estimates are not comparable to data in table 1-49M.
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
1.459972 tonne-kilometers = 1 ton mile.
