Hi Lee,

Could you please explain what you mean by "balance"?

AS you might agree, there is this myth that there can be an ideal 
"balance" between various forms of transport, and adherents to this 
philosophy seem to becoming fewer in number.... I don't think this is 
what you meant - and I don't want to split hairs over terminology - but 
are you saying "balance" instead of "modal share"?  The former is quite 
subjective, the latter is not (though of course it might be 
oversimplified because all journeys are multimodal unless you sleep (and 
so on...) on the bus, etc.).

Thanks,
T
