Large numbers of operators/agencies (in fact the majority) simply don't publish this figure (critically not the total distance figure and often not even the accurate patronage) and if you can't get the figure for everyone then you can't do the universal comparison. I know, I've tried it, even spoken with academics who've been trying it themselves. UITP has tried it and has to come up with an alternative.
