bus
, and bus
only. As seen above, the contrast between 1990 and 2010 can be seen; walking is the most preferred method used in 1990 while
riding a car is the highly used in 2010.
In 1990, students who walked to school made a total amount of 12 million per year. The range is staggering, considering other methods, such
as car, cycling, bus
and transferred bus
-walk doubled the proportions of those who walked.
However
, entering 2010, elementary children now preferred using cars, with a sum of 11 million trips made. On the other side, the number of walking children dropped to 6 million. Moreover
, children who cycled, used the bus
only and combined bus
