The graph gives information about the various methods of citizens' commuting in a European city used to reach office and return home in three different years (1950, 1970 and 1990). According to the chart, it is noticeable that car use was increasingly popular over the years. Meanwhile, fewer and fewer people walked to work or rode a bicycle. Furthermore, the most significant difference in commuter between car and bike was in 1990. In 1950, a vast number of people used to commute either on foot or by bicycle (approximately 30% and 27% respectively) compared to only around 7% private vehicles and around 20% public transport. After 20 years, the proportion of car users and bus passengers rose dramatically to just over 25% and nearly 28%. An opposite development was seen in the figure for people whether going on foot or cycling, which dropped less than half in the same year. In 1990, the percentage of commuting by cars reached its peak at around 35% whereas the figure for riding and walking was lowest at 7% and 10%. Besides that, there was a sharp decrease in the bus users, which accounted for the majority of citizens' transportations in 20 years ago, falling to under a fifth in 1990 (18%).
