The charts below show the percentage of people using public transport and that of people using private cars in five Australian cities between 2000 and 2010.

The line graphs elucidate how many individuals living in diverse cities in Australia travelled by shared transportation and their own vehicles throughout the decade.

Overall

, it is evident that there were a couple of variations in public transportation use among the three cities,

while

the percentage of using personal cars showed a stable tendency except for two areas. From the beginning, the popularity of employing public transport methods in

Sydney

and Melbourne maintained a top ranking and a runner-up until 2003, respectively. After that time, the percentage of public transport users in Brisbane overtook the figure of Melbourne and soared until 2006, surpassing the leading city in mid-2004.

As a result

, it secured a top spot in the final year, followed by

Sydney

. Unlike the aforementioned cities, the other urban areas stayed on a constant trend throughout the entire period and the population taking public transport in Adelaide recorded the lowest at around 5%.

In contrast

, the population of driving personal cars in Adelaide largely dominated other counterparts, standing at 90% in the final with an increase of 20% for the initial figure.

Moreover

, the number of individuals moving by their own vehicles in Perth climbed from 2002 to 2004 but it levelled off after that duration, ranking second in 2010.

Furthermore

, the number of car drivers in Brisbane maintained at a similar level, reaching 50% in the end. Notably, people in

Sydney

who had the smallest interest in driving their own cars showed gradual attention until 2006, recording over 40%. After that time, it fell minimally to 30% in the end.

Lastly

, Melbourne which was the second lowest city from the start year, was outstripped by

Sydney

in the intermediate 2002 and it could not recover its initial rank.
