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

makes it even more infuriating that the second and third and fourth most use is cars....

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.

damn youre right I completely didnt see that. goes to show how manipulative data can be if yore not triple checking every angle for misconception (altough this isnt that bad, just surprising to me I didnt even consider such different parameter)
