Yes I think that describes a majority of the population.

No it isn't. Most of the UK doesn't commute into London.

and the majority of into-London commuters use the train, anyway.

Mr Firth, of course, is being his usual slippery self.

The snag with the figure you've given is you'd need to define London.
And commuter.


One recent definition of London I have seen is anything south and east
of a line drawn from the Wash to the Severn Estuary.

but to quote Flanders & Swann regarding the London Borough reorganisation
of th '70s: You put all the boroughs south of the Thames together and call
them "Brighton".
