The diagram illustrated the rise in public transports in the Netherlands from 1950 to 2000. In general, there was a steady increase in train, bicycle and other public transport while the car had witnessed a sharp jump over the period of 50 years.
The train and the bicycle had experienced a slight increase for the next 20 years with approximately 15% in 1970. These two types of transport continued to go up constantly to 20% in 2000 with the train and nearly 20% for the bicycle. The other transport remarked the lowest percent in 1970 with almost 10% and moderately rose to 15% in 2000.
By contrast with the above-mentioned transports, the car had reached 20% in 1960 which took the other ones over 50 years to get that target. It can be seen that there was a dramatic growth in car usage from 20% to 100% for the next 20 years. The residents kept choosing cars as the most used transport with a considerable climb at 140% which was the highest percentage among the other transports in 2000.
