The chart below shows the number of trips made by children in one country in 1990 and 2010 to travel to and from school using different modes of transport. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The chart is illustrating the total number of trips to and from schol for children between 5 and 12 years old in one nation in 1990 and 2010. The information is arranged according to 5 ways of transportation: car, walking, cycling, walking/bus and bus.
Firstly, the first section of the chart represents the trips by car. While in 1990 this type of transportation was the least used, it became the most preferred in 2010, followed by walking and bus. Walking/bus and cycling were the least used ways in 2010.
Secondly, the second section summarises the quantity of trips where children walk to reach their school and to return home. Whereas in 1990 most children preferred to walk to school, approximately 12 millions trips per year, in 2010 this number halved and only 6 millions walking trips were taken.
Thirdly, while in 1900 cycling, walking/bus and bus were respectively reaching 6 millions trips per year, they significantly dropped in 2010 with cycling as least favourite mode of trasport with only 2 millions trips.
In conclusion, the tables shows how the modes of trasport have changed in a 40-year period.
