The charts show the main methods of transport of people travelling to one university in 2004 and 2009.

Summarise the information be selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given pie charts illustrate the proportion of means of transport namely
car
, bicycle,
bus
,
train
and walking, used to travel to a
university
in 2004 and 2009.
Overall
, the figure for
car
and
bus
made up the largest
number
of entire means of transport in both examined years
while
the
number
of
people
travelling by
train
and on foot remained almost unchanged. Remarkably, riding to the
university
became more popular in 2009. In 2004, 51% of
people
drive a
car
to the
university
in comparison with 33% going by
bus
. After five years, under the charges for
car
parking and the building of a new
bus
stop in the
university
, the figure for
car
travelling decreased by nearly a half,
whereas
the
number
of
people
going to the
university
by
bus
increased by approximately 10%. The figure for
train
passengers and
people
walking to the
university
in 2004 was 3% and 4% respectively. Noticeably, those figures were somewhat the same in 2009 with 4% for
train
and 6% for walking. There was a clear trend over the period of five years that more
people
preferred riding a bike to the
university
because the
number
of
people
travelling by bicycle in 2009 increased nearly double, compared to only 9% in 2004.
