Notes:
(1)
Unless otherwise specified, figures are averages of the whole year.
The operations of the MTR and KCRC were merged on 2 December 2007. Afterwards, the counting of passenger journey for passengers making railway interchanges at Kowloon Tong, Mei Foo, Nam Cheong, Tsim Sha Tsui and East Tsim Sha Tsui stations was different. Hence, the figures after the merger are not strictly comparable with those of earlier figures.

Ferry includes franchised and licensed services but exclude Kaitos.
The average daily patronage figure for KCRC is the average of 335 days in 2007.
