The answer to yesterday’s quiz: 64.5% of transit riders nationwide start their trip within five minutes of their transit. 19.9% are 6-10 minutes away (meaning 84.4% are within 10 minutes). 8.9% are 11-15 minutes, 2.5% 15-20 minutes, and 4.1% more than 20 minutes.

Laurence Aurbach came in with a last-minute winning guess of 65%, which was 99% accurate. Great guess Laurence!

Here’s the next quiz: of all the people who used transit as their primary mode of travel (regardless of whether they were 5 minutes from transit or not), what percent walked to transit (versus driving or something else)?
