Many buses are empty, even during peak hours; routes are inconvenient,circuitous and operate at long intervals. We note that according to a study by the city, 82% o ~ a n.users in the city are 'captive' users, while only 18% use the bus by choice. Furthermore, onl 3.20/0 0the city's workforce commutes to work by public transit. Our city is car-dependent, and this 1 \increasing the cost both to members ofour community, and our environment. -J

I f interpreted as shown below, it serves as a rough indicator of the precisionof the corresponding estimate of average income. For about 68% of the samples which could beselected from the sample frame, the difference between the sample estimate of average income andthe corresponding figure based on complete enumeration would be less than one standard error. Forabout 95% of the possible samples, the difference would be less than two standard errors and, inabout 99% of the samples, the difference would be less than approximately two and one halfstandard errors.Average and median incomes and standard errors of average income of individuals will be calculatedfor those individuals who are at least 15 years of age and who have an income (positive or negative).For all other universes (families (census/economic), persons 15 years of age and over not in familiesor private households), these statistics will be calculated over all units, whether or no t they reportedany income.These statistics can be derived for after-tax income, earnings, wages and salaries, or any otherparticular source of income in the same manner.
