made (in millions) by school-going children each year using five different modes of transport from a specific country in two years, 1990 and 2010.

Overall

, walking was the most popular method to travel to and from school in 1990

whereas

cars

were favoured in 2010.

In contrast

,

cars

were the least preferred mode of transport in 1990

while

cycling was the least used method in 2010. Analysing the graph

further

, walking accounted for just over 12

million

trips

in 1990 and

cars

accounted for around 4

million

trips

. By 2010 a reverse trend was observed with

cars

being the most preferred method at approximately 11

million

trips

and walking responsible for 6

million

trips

.

Additionally

, the usage of buses was at around 7

million

trips

in 1990 and dropped by 2

million

trips

over three decades. Similar amounts of cycling and both walking and bus were used in 1990 at around 6

million

trips

,

this

figure fell by approximately 2

million

and 1.5

million

for cycling and the combined usage of both walking and bus respectively.
