2. Overall travel trends in London Comparison with overall travel trends in London The overall trends in travel to central London are similar to that of Greater London, in terms of strong growth in rail modes and a general shift away from car use. However, public transport mode share is much higher for morning peak travel to central London, increasing from 85 per cent in 2000 to 91 per cent in 2014, compared to the all–day Greater London average, which was 30 per cent in 2000, increasing to 37 per cent in 2014. Bus mode share in Greater London and for travel to central London have remained relatively stable since 2000, and particularly since 2008. The bus mode share in Greater London has tended to be around 50 per cent higher than mode share for travel to central London, reflecting the availability of rail-based modes. In 2014/15, bus trips accounted for 15 per cent of all trips in Greater London, compared to 9 per cent of trips to central London in the morning peak. Conversely, in recent years, the cycle mode share has increased more for travel to central London compared to the Greater London average. In 2000, the cycling mode share was 1 per cent for travel to central London and for all trips in Greater London; however in 2014 the mode share for morning peak travel to central London is 3 per cent, compared to a Greater London average of 2 per cent. 2.8 Travel to London Docklands The Isle of Dogs Cordon Survey This survey counts trips into and out of the Isle of Dogs on a designated working day each autumn (except in 2009 when no survey was carried out). All trips that have an origin or destination within the Isle of Dogs or cross the boundary cordon are included. Through trips on the Jubilee line or DLR and interchange trips between the two rail modes that do not start or end in the Isle of Dogs are excluded on the basis of interchange surveys carried out on the same day. Internal trips within the Isle of Dogs are also excluded. An additional cordon, inside the Isle of Dogs cordon, closely bounding Canary Wharf, is identified and used to measure the number of trips to and from Canary Wharf, including those to and from points within the Isle of Dogs. Canary Wharf is a major centre of employment within the Isle of Dogs, located at the northern end of the Opportunity Area. Inbound mode shares in the morning peak period Figure 2.7 shows travel to the Isle of Dogs since 1988, the year in which construction started at Canary Wharf. It shows the number of people entering the Isle of Dogs during the weekday morning peak (between 07:00 and 10:00) by mode, thereby being comparable to figure 2.5 for central London. The London Underground (Jubilee line) extension to Docklands was opened in 1999. Before that, the car had the highest mode share, accounting for half the trips in each year between 1991 and 1994, declining to 35 per cent by 1998. During this period, the DLR increased its share from 30 per cent to almost 50 42 Travel in London, Report 8
2. Overall travel trends in London per cent. The share for bus travel fluctuated between 7 per cent and 14 per cent. The opening of the Jubilee line extension immediately accounted for 30 per cent of the inbound morning peak travel, while the DLR share dropped to 29 per cent, car to 28 per cent and bus to 7 per cent. Subsequently, the Underground has increased its share to 50 per cent in 2014 and the car mode share has dropped to 10 per cent. Walking and cycling accounted for 7 per cent of inbound morning peak travel and a quarter of inbound morning peak trips in 2014 were by DLR. These travel patterns reflect wider trends in London, with sustained and substantial shift in mode share away from the private car and towards public transport.

Trends in daily travel to and from the Isle of Dogs Figure 2.8 shows that between 2004 and 2014, the number of people travelling to and from the Isle of Dogs (on a weekday between 05:00 and 23:00) increased by 36 per cent, while travel to and from Canary Wharf increased by 54 per cent. As a share of the Isle of Dogs cordon crossings, travel to and from Canary Wharf accounts for 83 per cent of trips in 2014. Between 2008 and 2014, the equivalent increases were 6 and 7 per cent. These values are considerably lower than the growth over the10-year period, which is to be expected given the effects of the recession in 2008. Between 2013 and 2014, the number of trips made in London increased by 2 per cent as a result of population and employment growth as well as wider social and economic factors. The number of trips to and from the Isle of Dogs, however, decreased (between 05:00 and 23:00) by 0.3 per cent between 2013 and 2014. This is the first time there has been a decrease in trips since 2010 43 Travel in London, Report 8
