As there are some problems in the process of data collection, the difference<br />

in the number of <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> traveler respondents and bus traveler respondents is quite<br />

large. Forty-five (36.9%) of them are <strong>West</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> passengers and 77 (63.1%) of them<br />

are bus passengers.<br />

The place of residence of respondents is quite varied. So we group it into<br />

three districts, which are Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai. Respondents who<br />

live in Tuen Mun account for the largest proportion of the total respondents. It has 58<br />

people or nearly half of the total (48%). There are equal numbers of respondents who<br />

live in Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai, with 32 respondents or 52% of the total<br />

respondents. Among the thirty-two Yuen Long District respondents, the largest<br />

proportion or 14 people live in Yuen Long Town Centre. Among the 32 Tin Shui Wai<br />

District respondents, the largest proportion or 16 people live in Tin Shui Wai North.<br />

Among the 58 Tuen Mun District respondents, the largest proportion or 13 people live<br />

in Tuen Mun Town Centre.<br />

The number of trips passengers make to urban area weekly is quite diverse.<br />

Largest group of passengers (39 passengers, 32%) go to urban area 6 times a week.<br />

Twenty-two passengers (18%) go to urban area 7 times or more a week. On the other<br />

hand, only 6 (4.9%) and 7 passengers (5.7%) go to urban area 3 and 4 times a week<br />
