A few guys in an office did a car, bus and cycle challenge each using one mode of travel, to establish what was actually quickest.
If I remember correctly the car came last due to the queuing traffic and then finding a car park with spaces and then walking to the office
The bus came second although it did get to the city centre first the walk from the bus station delayed the final section. The cyclist arrived at the office first, due to the bike being able to be locked up directly outside the office and no walking from car parks or bus stations
Sounds like a Top Gear challenge!
Mind, if it was based on a commute from somewhere down the road in say Peterlee or Hetton, I bet the results would be totally different.
