Door to door metric is interesting. Bicycles actually shine there, you can save 5 to 20 minutes at every stop on your errand by parking directly in front of the store/destination rather than finding parking and walking in & back out. It's a really significant amount of time, speaks to how much is saved by cutting out unnecessary stops & going directly to your destination. More so though, door-to-door is probably the most charitable metric for driving compared to trains. I presume door-to-door drive time is not assuming peak rush hour traffic? Which is what makes the metric a bit weird: (A) makes odd assumptions about traffic conditions, (B) does not take into account that you can save time by being on a train - you can sleep, eat, do work, relax, pee when you want to, whatever.. If you drive door-to-door, all you will have done is likely just driven door to door. Less so with a train trip.
