The Met council web site says there are about 200,000 bus trips each weekday. My guess is 5 miles per trip, which yields 1 million people miles. Add that to the 193,000 daily miles for the LRT, and compare to the 39.7 million miles by auto, and it appears that about 3% of total miles are by mass transit.
