Thanks to a clear and defined strategy, the car number has decreased by 34% since 2017, and the number of cyclists has increased by 70%. In a city where the transit is really excellent.
These are the results that you get when you build quality infrastructure, as already seen in Paris

The actual city of London is tiny. It is very small part of of what is considered London
The same can be said for Paris, but it’s still a remarkable result
makes it even more infuriating that the second and third and fourth most use is cars…
while public transport is 3rd last … horrible
Is the tube not convenient?
It’s very convenient, when it’s not on fire.
wheres the tube listed under? but yea didnt think about that option not being listed here
I think it’s vehicle count not passenger count.
Many buses in CoL will carry 50+ people at peak times so probably move more people than cars or bikes.
But walking was the most common by a fair bit, just not in that graph.
