Band 7+: The chart illustrates the distances traveled by passengers on 5 types of transport in the UK in 1990 and 2000. The data is presented in kilometres per person, per week. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The bar graph compares the distances travelled by people in the UK using different means of transport in 1990 and 2000.

Overall, the total distance travelled by all modes of transport combined increased. The figures for bus and rail were significantly higher in both years compared to bicycles, motorbikes, and air travel.

In 1990, the figure for kilometres travelled by bus was highest, at around 40 billion kilometres, followed by rail with a slightly lower figure. By the year 2000, the distances covered by these two modes increased to the same level, each with approximately 45 billion kilometers.

The amount of kilometres travelled by bicycles, motorbikes and air transport, was incredibly low in 1990, with motorbikes covering the most distance of the three modes at around 10 billion passenger kilometers. In 2000, the figure for air travel rose to about 10 billion kilometers, in contrast to the decline seen in the other two modes. Finally, the total passenger kilometres increased from 100 billion to 112.5 billion kilometers in 2000.
