transport modes in a european city from 1960 to 2000

transport modes in a european city from 1960 to 2000 gYk7a

The given bar chart illustrates the changes in the proportion of travellers commuting by four distinct modes of transport in four different years. Overall, the figures for bike, bus and foot recorded a downward trend, while the opposite pattern was witnessed in cars. Also, figures for cars not only registered the highest position but also experienced the greatest differences. At the beginning, the rate of people traveling by car stood at 6%, registering the lowest figure out of four transport modes given; however, this figure increased sharply to 40% in 2000, higher than three others. By contrast, although commuters by foot accounted for the largest percentage in 1960, it saw a considerable decrease by 25% in 2000. The figure for bikes showed a similar trend, falling from a fourth of total travelers to only 6% in the last year. There was a small change in the proportion of travelers by bus. Although the figure witnessed a considerable increase from 18% to about 26% in 1980, it fell to 16% in 2000.
