The pie charts illustrate the rationales behind why people choose to go to work on a bicycle or by a car.
Overall, the maximum percentage of people who use bicycle to go to work do it because they are concerned about their health and about protecting the environment from pollution. In contrast, the highest percentages of people who drive to work are the ones who find it more comforting and have to cover longer distances.
The first chart displays the different reasons for people who go to work on a bicycle. A majority of people (30%) prefer cycling to work because they want to maintain their health and remain fit. An equal percentage of people (30%) cycle to work because it helps in reducing pollution. There are 15% people who commute to and from work on bicycles because they find it easier to park bicycles as compared to any other motor vehicle because bicycle takes up lesser space. 13% people experience a reduction in their overall travelling costs which is why they choose bicycle as their mode of transport to go to work. The remaining 12% find bicycle to be faster than driving as they do not have to stop due to traffic jams which is why they commute to work on bicycles.
On the other hand, 40% people prefer car over bicycle because travelling in a car is more comfortable than on a bicycle. While 21% of the total people who drive to work do it because their workplace is located at a distance from their homes, 14% people do it because driving is faster than cycling. There are another 14% people who drive to work because they need to carry things with them and cannot do that on a bicycle. The last 11% find driving to be safer than cycling.
