The graph below shows the different modes of transport used to travel to and from work in one European city in 1960, 1980 and 2000. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information below.

The diagram delineates the type of transportation citizens of a European country used to travel to and from their workplaces in three different years - 1960, 1980 and 2000. As an

overall

trend,

cars

gained huge popularity as a

mode

of commuting,

while

buses

lost their appeal as a viable

mode

of communication for these Europeans. As the diagram suggests, around four out of ten of these Europeans used

buses

to reach their offices and to get back homes in 1960. Tubes were the second most preferred

mode

of transportation as more than 25% of people took

this

form of vehicle. Interestingly, Only around one in every 18 people used

cars

to travel,

by contrast

, trains were preferred by roughly 18% of citizens for commuting to and from offices. After two decades, trains and personal

cars

gained demand as more than half of the population used these two forms of transport. Tubes and

buses

retained less proportion of commuters

this

year and

buses

seem like lost their attraction as a

mode

of transportation.

Finally

, in 2000, more than one-third of these Europeans started using

cars

while

only 15% of them used

buses

to travel to and from their workplaces. Tubes retained almost one-fourth of the commuters,

whereas

train usage stood just above 20%.
