In Berlin I highly doubt it's 3-5 times for the majority of trips. To try it out I just plotted a simple route from Schöneberg to Mauerpark, it takes ~42 min with transit, ~28 min with a car. With a car you need to find parking (and pay for parking). The same route is ~32 min on a bike. From Charlottenburg to Lichtenberg (cross city) it's around ~42 min on a car, ~1h10m with transit + walk, or ~1h on a bike. Again, without factoring in times for parking, etc. Those car trips are estimates with no traffic on a Saturday noon, any other time with more traffic and these estimates should get ~20-30% longer.
