add note of year shareholder arrangement changed, clarify shareholder arrangements
==Methodology==
Generally, the SVR counts tickets sold, with a return ticket counting as one (not two) passengers. Passesallowing unlimited travel, such as those for Shareholders and Working Members, were not included.
The [[Annual Family Pass]] was included from its launch in November 2012 for nominal numbers of trips per pass.
In some years, Shareholders were included as they eligible for a set number of free journeys were provided with travel vouchers that were exchanged for ticketsand were thus included, but in recent years passes were issuedinstead.
