OK, far more interestingly, lets look at the second most common mode of travel to work in 2021, again excluding working from home.
Loads of 'car passenger' and 'on foot' and we need to recall that this was during the pandemic - many people were furloughed etc, so patterns are odd to start with. London transport geography emerges very nicely
But one further treat for journey to work nerds: by using such detailed geography, and excluding WFH and most common, we see 'Other' for the first time!
Next a map of most common mode (largest share of all modes, not necessarily > 50% of relevant people), after we exclude working from home.
Why exclude WFH? The census was in March 2021, during (partial) lockdown, so WFH from home effect is very different to previous observations.
There's an awful lot of car driving going on!
In previous threads on the Other Place, I've shared some maps of journey to work data for England and Wales, from the 2021 #census (eg map of London below)(@Richpereira @statsgeekclare and friends - are there any official ONS accounts to tag yet?)
The Output Area level data are quite large (as in, you can't load them into Excel to muck around with), so it's taken a little longer to do maps for the whole of England and Wales, but I now have some ready to go...

This is great by @davidallengreen on the spectacle of Owen Paterson, who called for repeal of the Human Rights Act and even 'breaking free from the ECHR,' taking his case to the European Court of Human Rights.
His lawyers say despite the irony 'he has no other choice' - 'And that is the very point of human rights law... They are all there as a last resort, for those with no other choice' - like the migrants Paterson complained about.
29th November 2022 The former member of parliament Owen Paterson is taking a case to the European Court of Human Rights. There is nothing wrong with this. Indeed, there is everything right about hi…
Cis people:
Imagine getting misgendered 95% of the time you interact with anyone, anywhere.
Then imagine your friends telling you that those people "don't mean anything by it" and that it's "not a big deal" and that "they're trying."
That's entire years of trans people's lives.
Then imagine that anytime you attempt to correct someone, you're worried you're going to come off as angry, aggressive, or adamant.
Perhaps at some point I'll write a thread on my deep concerns about our reliance on Google Scholar.
For now, though, why on earth does Google Scholar not let you sort your search results?
You have basically one choice: to see them in "relevance" order—and we're not even told the secret formula used to determine relevance.
You can also sort by date—for papers from the past year only.
It's really crazy that a mature tool supposedly designed to serve the community would be severely limited.
