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.

The diagram presents the comparison of what youth aged from 5 to 12 years old in 1990 and 2010 used as their transportation method to go to

school

. The data are presented in the frequency of the

transport

modes

that are used which include walking, riding a bicycle, car,

bus

, and the combination of riding a

million

trips

, going to

school

million

In addition

,

while

the car shows a rise in the number of

trips

in 2010, the other

modes

do not show a similar result.

This

can be seen in the trip frequency comparison between the period of 1990 and 2010, all other

modes

' frequency of

trips

is declining.

Transport

methods

such

as cycling and walking are the

modes

that decline the most with half the number of

and 2

million
