Trips in England by main transport mode; percent of all trips, 2024.
Trips made by people in England are divided into six main transport-mode groups for 2024. The percentages use all trips as the denominator and sum to 99% because the published values are rounded. Car or van accounted for the largest share at 59%. Walking accounted for 29%, while local bus, cycling and surface rail each represented much smaller shares.

Evidence: Supports the six published main-mode shares of all trips in England in 2024.
The National Travel Survey is a household survey, and the rounded percentages sum to 99% rather than exactly 100%.
The six published main-mode percentages were retained and ordered from largest to smallest.
All segments use the same 2024 survey, all-trips denominator and main-mode classification.
