Traffic growth in the Netherlands

Traffic growth in the Netherlands eKlKx

The line graph shows the proportion of changes in the progression of traffic in four modes of transportation in the Netherlands from 1950 to 2000. Overall, cars made the most dramatic rise in 50 years creating a wide disparity from the other three means of travel which stayed clustered together with other forms of public transport recording the lowest growth. Of the four involved types of vehicles which equally started at zero in 1950, people who use cars jumped ahead to 20% after a 10-year period while all the others stayed at about half of it. Its figure rose swiftly reaching 100% more vehicles on the road after another two decades which further soared to seven times its initial ratio, whereas the other transport systems had constant proportions below 20% by 2000. Meanwhile, for individuals who prefer a train ride, its traffic slowly progressed to approximately 15% by 1970, with bikers recording marginally lower and both growing continuously in a parallel manner until reaching 5% and 3% more respectively by the end of the survey. As for other mass transit, its reported rate of about 5% in 1960 stayed constantly for 20 years, only increasing slightly by the next decade and sustaining a plateau as it ended to about half of the percentage the train user’s traffic half a century later.
