The bar chart illustrates the alternations in the percentage of 11 to 16-year-old

students

selecting different forms of transportation to go to

school

in a year in the UK. As can be seen from the graph, most

students

were inclined to go on foot and cycle for

school

journeys

with short distances,

whereas

others prioritized using

cars

or

buses

to commute to

school

due to

the far ones. Regarding

journeys

within 1 mile, walking was the most prevalent option for

students

aged 11 to 16 to commute to

school

, reaching 90%, higher than about 40% of cycling. Meanwhile, the figures for

cars

and

buses

were under 10%. For the 1-to-2-mile distance, riding bicycles suddenly became the most prevalent option among others, constituting almost 80%. Meanwhile, the percentage of 11-to-16-year-old

students

going on foot to

school

slightly decreased to 60%.

This

number was triple for

cars

and was six times as high as for

buses

. For

school

journeys

within 2 to 5 miles, the percentage of immature

students

choosing

buses

to travel was the highest, at 50%, followed by about 48% for cycling, 30% for using

cars

, and 25% for walking. With

journeys

over 5 miles, the

students

preferred using

buses

over other options to travel to

school

, at nearly 70%, compared to 20% for commuting by car. Notably, the remaining options to go to

school

were ignored by

students

for

this

long distance.
