The short version
Credit Transit Barometer, link to the page you took the figure from, and name the underlying agency (we show it on every chart). That is the whole requirement.

Crediting the original agency too
Our analysis is ours; the underlying measurements belong to the agencies, and their licences ask for attribution as well. Each page names its source — please carry it through.

What you may do
- Republish our charts, tables and figures, in print, online or on air
- Use them commercially
- Redraw a chart in your own style, or translate it
- Build on our numbers in your own analysis
What we ask you not to do
- Do not present our figures as real-time. They are not, and we are careful never to say so. Carry the timestamp if the freshness matters to your story.
- Do not attribute our analysis to the agency. The rankings and probabilities are ours; the raw measurements are theirs. Blurring the two puts words in a government agency's mouth.
- Do not imply we endorse you, or that we are a government body.
Need something specific?
Want a longer history, a different cut, or a figure checked before you publish? Ask — see contact. There is no charge for this.
