Private Transport Efficiency

How many cars contain one person traveling?

28=one occupant/driver
25=more than one occupant
4=cyclists

Time 1230-1300(Friday)
Place Southsea
Journey 3 miles
Date 27 June 2011 (Monday)

53 cars. Cold damp headwind

Approx 8% cycling usage. One of the worst days ever despite being a nice warm sunny day. Students are down at the moment, probably the main explanation. Car usage a bit more sensible, with a lower proportion of single occupant cars than usual on a weekday...

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).
