The chart below shows the number of trips made by children in one country in 1990 and 2010 to travel to and from school using different modes of transport. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart provides information about how many trips it took for children aged 5-12 to get to and from
school
by bus, car, walking and cycling in 1990 and 2010.
Overall
, the most popular ways of getting to the institutions were walking and car, meanwhile cycling was the least preferred option depending on the given period. In the 20th century, most youngsters went to
school
on foot,
however
, taking the
school
bus was the
second
most liked way of travelling, with the former standing at roughly 12
million
and the latter at about 7
million
. Surprisingly, the combination of walking and taking the motorbus accounted for around 6
million
trips that year. By the end of the
second
period, cars became the most favoured method,
although
it did not exceed the 12
million
walkers back in 1990.
Nevertheless
, public transport was still relatively popular. The numbers only declined by approximately 1
million
,
while
the number of foot travellers went down by close to 6
million
, which is close to the reduction of car passengers and barely any individuals chose to go to
school
on two wheels.
