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.

, car passenger was the most common accommodation for toddlers' trips in 2010. As it is presented in the chart, the schools were not using passenger cars mostly in comparison with other accommodation, which was just 6 million trips that were taken by it.
