Looks like I remembered it wrong. Still, it’s quite high and more than Australia/Canada.

The UK having the highest transit mode share (in 2014) is a bit surprising.

These stats all look wrong for Japan at least. I’ve done research specifically into Japanese transportation modes in Japanese using authoritative sources and the real stats are more in line with what you’d expect (i.e. more public transportation, more biking, less cars). I can’t grab the sources right now, but might try to come back and add them later.

I think there are more business vehicles in Japan. There are too much sales people. Goods transport is mainly done by vehicles.
