METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
At the time of this release some inconsistencies were detected in the administrative sources, which is why the data for June on urban and interurban public scheduled road passenger transport have not been published. Data on urban and interurban public scheduled road passenger transport will be published in the SiStat Database as soon as they are available.

Data on port traffic published by SURS June differ from the data published by ports in their reports. The differences are due to the use of different methodologies (different data sources, tare consideration, etc.).

Additional explanations are available in the methodological explanations on road public scheduled traffic, registered road vehicles, road traffic countingroad border crossingsroad goods transport, railway transport, air transport, and maritime transport and port traffic.
