The RPI All Items index was used to calculate the real terms increases for each transport component.</p><p> </p><p>Transport cost increases from 1980 use historic ONS RPI data. This is due to RPI being re-based in 1987. Pre-1987 codes for transport components were matched to the new categories using the code descriptors, which had remained unchanged. The historic data is not published online. The real terms increase from 1980 was then calculated using the same methodology as above.</p><p> </p><p>While information prior to 1987 was provided in previous PQ responses, it was drawn from historical data which is not readily available and will no longer be provided in future.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Aviation</p><p>The costs of travelling domestically by air are based on fare data taken from the Civil Aviation Authority passenger survey. The Retail Price Index (RPI), taken from the Office for National Statistics, has been used to adjust for the real term change in the costs.
