Neither you nor Jack has quoted any sources, so I have not made any such
claims about misquoted sources.  One can't argue with statistics that
appear out of nowhere.  I am only providing a blanket statement as to why
such a figure that covers "Europe" (which, by the geographical definition,
nearly 50% of which is made of Russian farmland) which Jack provided isn't
particularly relevant to urban areas of western Europe.

OK, so maybe the correct way of phrasing what I wrote shouldn't be "You
have made this statement before many times and been proven wrong."  This
is considerable oversimplification, but it is also in response to a
statistic that is irrelevant to the statement I typed.

What I should have said was "You have made this statement before many
times, which has been proven irrelevant."

The statement that Jack May has made before and has been proven incorrect
has been the statements that "Transit use is declining all over Europe." 
He was able to prove that market share in all of Europe (including areas
that are still transitioning out of communism) is decreasing, which is to
be expected.  However, what was shown to be true is that in many areas of
western Europe (that is, locations where efforts are being made to improve
the quality of transit and auto owner****p is well established) that
transit market share is actually increasing.

So, the statement of cars being 90% of the travel in Europe isn't
necessarily incorrect, but it is a completely inaccurate picture that is
presented in response to my statements of what is really going on.
