The line graph illustrates the amount of goods transported by four different ways namely road, water, rail and pipeline from the years 1974 to 2002. The quantity is expressed in million tonnes.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that roadways were the most used mode of transport in the total span of 28 years while pipeline was the least used mode in the given period. It is very evident from the chart that roadways were pre-dominantly used and accounted for 70 million tonnes of transport in 1974. It significantly rose to little less than 100 million tonnes in 2002. On the contrary, pipeline started at 0 million tonnes in 1974 and saw a gradual increase throughout the period and was 20 million tonnes at the end of the period. Waterways and railways took a start at 40 million tonnes each in the beginning. Going further, railways took a dip and landed at the same quantity in 2002 as it was in 1974 whereas waterways transportation grew rapidly and reached around 70 million tonnes in 2002.
