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

The line graph illustrates how many travellers use 3 separate means of transport to commute daily during the period from 1970 to 2030.

It is clear that

travelling by car is the most popular form of transport throughout the years. The number of people in the UK who uses trains

also

witnesses a growth,

whereas

the figure for those using

buses

declines considerably. In 1970, about 5

million

commuters used cars to travel around, compared to only 2

million

and 4

million

of those who took trains and

buses

respectively. Over the next decade, the distribution in all 3 modes remained unchanged. From that year to 2020, both car and train commuting experienced an upward tendency

while

the opposite was true for

buses

.  By 2030, the quantity of travellers using their own cars is expected to rise to nearly 9

million

. The figure for those people who take trains is

also

predicted to increase to approximately 5

million

.

However

, the trend of using

buses

seems to be less widely used. It is thought to see a drop to under 3

million

commuters.
