Boris is committed to increasing cycling's modal share but has always been against imposing modal hierarchies.

In 2009 the modal share of the city was dominated by cars (61%).

Public transportation had 4% modal share.

Incentives to use public transport, increasing modal shares.

Furthermore, the bikeshare system captured modal share from bus transit, walking, autos and taxis.

During the late 60s and early 70s the modal share of bicycles fell to an all time low of 10%.

Starting in 1991, the EU developed legislation to open railways up to competition, which would help them regain modal share from road and air transport.

By 2008, between Yongsan and the cities mid-way along the Honam Line, rail's total modal share passed 50%.

It can achieve a far greater modal share if, as you just pointed out, Mrs Wortmann-Kool, our approach is accompanied by concrete action.

In spite of the progress achieved and particularly the fact of having stemmed a decline which seemed unavoidable, rail's modal share remains still too weak.
