Private Transport Efficiency

How many cars contain one person traveling?

33=one occupant/driver
22=more than one occupant
9=cyclists

Time 1230-1245 (Friday)
Place Southsea
Journey 3 miles
Date 8 October 2010 (Friday)

55 cars. Cold damp headwind

Approx 14% cycling usage. Pretty good considering the weather! 51% single occupant cars, pretty uninspiring. 25% of the people traveling use 56% of the road resources, single occupancy car use is very expensive for us all.

Methodology:
Count (1) private cars with one occupant, (2) cars with more than one occupant, (3) cyclists, all in the oncoming lane.
Do not count commercial/working vehicles (vans, taxis, cars with stuff written on them).
