More than two-thirds (68 per cent) of people in the UK drive to work.
Figures from the Department for Transport (DfT) show this vastly outweighed other options, with only nine per cent travelling by rail and seven per cent by bus. This left 11 per cent who walk to their job and five per cent who use other means.
It also found driving was, on average, quicker than these options. Taking a car cut a journey to 25 minutes, lower than bus (38 minutes) and rail (59 minutes).
However, it was not as fast as motorcycles (24 minutes), bicycles (21 minutes) or walking (14 minutes).
Earlier this month, the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) found 16.7 million people in England and Wales take a car to work, of which 15.3 million drive themselves and 1.4 million get a lift.
In 2012, DfT's figures showed 64 per cent of all trips were made by either car or van.
