Interesting graph.
Yeah, I'm also unclear on train vs. PT. I'm guessing train doesn't include LRT, Tram, or subway, and only includes mainline rail.
That would track here for sure. Transit is...not amazing (although still worlds better than KW or London). But the train network is exceptional. Bikes solve the last mile problem for fast intercity transit.
That being said, still very car oriented, just not car dependent the same way KW is. FWIW...measuring mode share is quite hard. If you measure by VMT...you prioritise long trips which obviously prefer the car. If you measure by trip, you prioritize short trips and stumble on chaining. Ultimately like most things, it's just more complicated than it appears at first.
I know I also rode transit more in the winter. Even after I started biking in the winter (for one year I biked in the summer then took the bus in the winter) I would still be much more likely to be lazy and hop on the ION in the winter even if I mostly commuted by foot or bike.
