Note: Figures in parentheses are 95% confidence bounds. Other vehicles, including powered 2- and 3-wheelers, were not modelled within the scenarios because the proportion of travel within this mode was assumed to remain stable. All transport mode changes refer to change in vehicle kilometres travelled from baseline.
