The graph below shows the average number of UK commuters traveling each day by car, bus or train between 1970 and 2030.

The line graph compares figures for daily travel by workers in the UK in terms of three different forms of transport, namely

car

,

bus

, and train over a period of 60 years. Looking from an

overall

perspective, it is readily apparent that the

car

is by far the most popular means of transport for UK commuters throughout the period shown. It is

also

notable that

while

the number of people who use the

car

and trains increased dramatically,

bus

users experienced the opposite trend. A deep analysis of the line graph provided reveals that in 1970, around 5

million

British individuals travelled by

car

on a daily basis,

while

the

bus

and train were used by about 4

million

and 2

million

people respectively. In the next thirty years, the figure for those who travelled by

car

rose to 7

million

,

while

the statistic for rail passengers reached 3

million

.

However

, there was a slight dip of approximately 0.5

million

in the number of

bus

users. Looking at the line in more detail, by 2030, the data for

car

commuters are expected to reach its peak at around 9

million

,

while

the figure for individuals travelling by train is

also

predicted to rise, to nearly 5

million

.

By contrast

,

bus

users are predicted to witness a gradual decrease to around 3

million

.
