I don't think that an overall statistic works very well for this.
I live in London and I probably do split my time very roughly 1/3 ish across the three modes as stated.
But that's because I'm doing different things.
The tube is used to go into town, meet up with urban living friends, go to museums, visit specialist high end shops.
The car is used to go to larger stores like the supermarket, big shopping centres, DIY stores, to go out of town, go to the golf range, visit friends and family.
Walking gets me to the corner shop, to local friends, to the park, the last mile on public transport.
It's very walkable/cyclable, I just don't spend my life in a 1-5 mile radius.
- rgeex 2y agoThe article specifically refers to statistics about how people commute to work.
- throwaway22032 2y agoSure, I have done all three for a work commute as well. It just depends where you live and where the job is. The city is not homogeneous, nowhere over maybe a few km in radius is.
- cpill 2y agoyeah, I used to live in Shoreditch (before it was cool) and commute by bicycle to Queenway 90% of the way on the canal. It was brilliant and not many people seemed to do it at the time. I did have some pretty hairy experience cycling around London however (was almost squeezed between 2 double-deckers once, not to mention black cabs!). Its not the most bike friendly, but this was all before the Olympics...
