Roughly 8.1 percent of greater Seattle commuters rode transit to work in 2009, compared with 6.1 percent in greater Portland. Focusing on just the cities themselves, rather than the entire metro areas, the difference was even starker: 20.8 percent of Seattle workers commute by transit, compared with 11.6 percent in the City of Roses.
