Calculated from National Transit Database.
Note: Some data distortion occurs because data is reported in the headquarters location of public transport
agencies. The most significant distortions occur in the New York City and Washington, DC areas, where a large
amount of interstate ridership and costs are reported in the headquarters state or district but occur in other states.
Combined data is shown for these areas as exhibits.
