Thanks to a clear and defined strategy, the car number has decreased by 34% since 2017, and the number of cyclists has increased by 70%. In a city where the transit is really excellent.
These are the results that you get when you build quality infrastructure, as already seen in Paris

The same can be said for Paris, but it’s still a remarkable result
It’s not the same. The City of London is an official district, it’s about 1 square mile, it’s not like the whole of zone 1 - central london - it’s not like we’re talking about London vs Greater London. It’s still great to see, and it’s likely the growth applies to much of central london, and hopefully also the majority mode share.
