The bar graph illustrates how much money five age groups of the population in Malaysia spent on public transport, including trains, buses and taxis, on a weekly basis in 2008.
Overall, it can be seen that taxis were the most used mode of transport, and thus saw the highest spending, across all age groups, while expenditure on train usage decreased for members of the public as they grew older. People paid approximately the same sum of money on buses until they were in their sixties, when spending fell in the senior age groups.
The highest level of expenditure for every peer group was on taxis where the maximum amount of spending was in the under 65s, who spent approximately 6RM each week, while those aged over 65 spent less than half this on taxis, seeing a weekly payout of between 2 and 3RM. In contrast, the amount of the weekly budget spent on bus travel was around 2RM for the under 65s and even lower for those over 65, who spent considerably less than 1RM. Rail was by far the least popular means of transport, with spending reaching a weekly high of just under 4RM for the under 30s and dropping to a low of less than 0. 5RM for members of the population aged over 75.
