More recent but less thorough data from a survey of commuters into inner city employers produced the following results. : Car as a driver 38.6%, Walk 20.8%, Cycle 12.1%, Bus 8.6%, Car – as a passenger 5.8%, Train 5.8%, working from home today 1.5%, Motorbike 1.6%, Park and Ride 1.5%. These numbers, with high walking/cycling, low work from home may be consistent with the survey, as they are a selective count of people who work in the inner city -not in the North Fringe, nor from home unless their employer is one of the set based in the city and included in the survey.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
