  This is compiled by the statistical department of the American Transit Association. It is identified as the 1947 edition and covers the operations of the industry through the year 1946 with the latest plant and equipment data as of December 31, 1946. The figures given are in all cases totals for the whole transit industry of the United States. The transit industry herein represented comprises all organized local passenger transportation agencies except taxicab and suburban railroads, sightseeing buses and school buses. Included are (1) electric street railways, (2) elevated and subway lines, (3) interurban electric railways, (4) local motor bus lines and (5) trolley coach lines. The primary sources of the data herein developed are the financial and statistical reports received by the American Transit Association from transit companies representing 85 to 95 per cent of the transit industry. Any minor differences between figures for the year ending Dec. 31, 1945 as shown in this issue of the Fact Book and as published in the 1946 edition are the result of adjustments necessary to take into account additional information received subsequent to the issuance of the 1946 edition.
