The line graph compares figures for daily travel by workers in the UK using three different forms of transport over 60 years.
It is clear that the car is by far the most popular means of transport for UK commuters throughout the period shown. Also, while the statistic of people who use the car and train increase gradually, the figure of bus users falls steadily.
In 1970, around 5 million UK commuters traveled by car on a daily basis, while the bus and train were used by about 4 million and 2 million people respectively. In the year 2000, the total of those driving to work rose to 7 million and the number of commuting rail passengers reached 3 million. However, there was a small drop of approximately 0. 5 million in the statistic of bus users.
By 2030, the total of people who commute by car is expected to reach almost 9 million, and the figure for train users is also predicted to rise, to nearly 5 million. By contrast, buses are predicted to become a less popular choice, with only 3 million daily users.
