Notes:
1. The statistical data of Hongkong, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Province are not included in this bulletin.
2. According to the National Highway Network Planning (2013— In 2030), combined with the adjustment of road networks in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), the statistical caliber of mileage of China Road, Provincial Road, County Road, Township Road and Village Road was partially adjusted.
3. In the communique, the number of commercial passenger traffic is the number of completed railways, highways, waterways and civil aviation, excluding urban passenger traffic; The volume of commercial cargo transportation is the number of railway, highway, waterway and civil aviation, excluding pipeline data. Since 2021, the statistical method of road freight volume has been adjusted from "calculation by the competent department of the industry" to "comprehensive investigation of enterprises under the regulations+fluctuation calculation of households under the regulations". Since 2021, the statistical method of waterway passenger traffic has fully adopted the enterprise network direct report.
4. Among the postal related indicators, the total business volume of the postal industry in 2021 is calculated at the constant unit price in 2020, and the total business volume of the postal industry in 2020 is calculated at the constant unit price in 2010. The absolute amount of year-on-year increase or decrease cannot be calculated, and the percentage of year-on-year increase or decrease is calculated at a comparable caliber.
