The above charts show how Londoners have historically commuted to work and the average London traffic speeds between the years 1970 and 2010. These data sources clearly communicate that Londoners are gradually finding alternative ways to com mute to work as traffic congestion worsens.
The first chart illustrates that 41% of Londoners commuted to work by car in 1970. This value climbs to 47% by 1990 but then falls gradually to 34% in 2010. Subway usage is negatively correlated. The 32% of total London commuters that travelled by subway in 1970 dips to 26% by 1990 only to grow to 36% by 2010. Bus usage falls from a high of 23% in 1970 to 19% in 2010. Travelling to work by bicycle or on foot saw modest grow from 2% in 1970 to 8% and 5% in 2010 respectively.
The second chart indicates that traffic speeds in London have steadily slowed over the period in question. In 1970, average London traffic speeds were 24 miles per hour. This figure slows to 19 miles per hour in 1990 and 15 miles per hour in 2010.
