Private Transport Efficiency

First post for a while, although I note that the approx 20% cycling vehicles continued through Nov and December, but proportion is a little lower in January

How many cars contain one person traveling?

6=one occupant/driver
22=more than one occupant
6=cyclists

Time 1630-1645 (Sunday)
Place Southsea
Journey 3 miles
Date 8 October 2010 (Friday)

28 cars. Usual Sunday pattern with much more efficient car use. Bitterly cold.

Approx 20% cycling usage. Although with the much more efficient use of cars probably a smaller than average proportion of travelers on bikes. Interesting to note that a lot more people than usual seem to travel on Sunday than weekdays, but in far fewer cars.

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).
