The Table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparison where relevant.

The table shows the

distance

travelled using different forms of

transport

in England in two different years (1985 and 2000). Units are measured in

miles

travelled per

person

per year.

Overall

, it can clearly be seen that travel by all modes of

transport

rose, with the exception of walking, bicycle, and local

bus

.

As a result

, the average

distance

travelled per

person

increased quite significantly, with

being by far the most widely used means of

in both years and

the least. In 1985, a

person

travelled an average of 4,740

miles

per year, and most of these were by

car

, accounting for almost three-fourths of the total (3,199). The

miles

travelled by local

bus

and other was far smaller, making up roughly one-tenth each. The

distance

travelled by train and walking was even shorter at 289 and 255

miles

respectively. Meanwhile,

were the least common modes of

transport

and constituted a small fraction, ranging from 13 to 54

miles

. In 2000, the average

distance

travelled per

person

experienced a noticeable climb to 6,475, and

car

remained the most widely used form of

transport

at 4,806. In fact, the

distance

travelled by

this

particular mode of

transport

witnessed by far the greatest growth of around 1,700.

While

the

distance

travelled by other, taxi, train, and long-

distance

bus

went up slightly by around 50 – 100

miles

, the figure for long-

distance

bus

more or less halved. As for the rest, the figures remained relatively stable. Interestingly, when combined, the

distance

travelled by all modes of

transport

, apart from cars, amounted to only 1,600, which was far exceeded by that of

alone.
