The following bar chart shows the different modes of transport used to travel to and from work in one European city in 1960, 1980 and 2000.
The provided bar chart illustrates the transportation types which residents selected for work travelling in one European city over the four decades (1960-2000). The number of
travellers
in each transport mode is measured in percentages. Overall
, it is evident that each decade has a distinct proportion of transport modes.
To begin
with, both bike and foot trends between 1960 and 2000 were similar. The downward trends over the 40-year period showed that the bike users dramatically dropped from approximately 25% to around 5% of the total, and the foot travellers
significantly decreased from slightly under 35% to solely less than 10%.
On the other hand
, the proportion of people who travelled by bus oscillated. The percentage of travellers
modestly rose from around 17.5% in 1960 to 25% in 1980, then
moderately declined to roughly 15% in 2000. Meanwhile, the number of travellers
who used cars sharply grew from 5% in 1960 to 35% in 2000.Submitted by Partofyourworld on
