The line graph illustrates the quantity of British travellers using three different forms of transport over a period of 60 years starting from 1970.
Overall, the car is by far the most popular means of transportation in the UK throughout the recorded period. Whereas the number of car and train users increase consistently, there is a slight decrease in the number of travellers using the bus
When it comes to an upward trend, about 5 million people opted for cars in 1970, the highest figure compared to those of other vehicles at the time, then this number experienced a sharp rise to about 7 million in 2000. Similar to cars, there was a gradual rise in the figure of commuters travelling by train by 1 million. This number of people travelling by both car and bus remained the same in next 10 years, before being predicted to quickly rise to 9 million people and 5 million people respectively.
By contrast, the period of time from 1970 to 2010 witnessed a slight decrease in the number of bus users. In 2010, the quantity of commuters using trains exceeded this number of buses to become the 2nd most commonly used vehicle after cars. Contrast with cars and trains, buses are forecasted to continue to decline in 2030, with only under 3 million daily users.
