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

Look up figure 5 and you'll see how people really get around in The City of London. They walk from station to office.
