The bar chart illustrates the distance traveled by different modes of transport in the UK between 1990 and 2000. Overall, air travel, buses, and rail travel all experienced an increase, while the usage of bicycles and motorbikes decreased during this period. It is also evident that buses and rail were the most commonly used modes of transport throughout the decade.
In 1990, the total distance traveled amounted to 100 billion passenger kilometers, which increased to 110 billion kilometers by 2000. Additionally, the figures for bus and rail travel were relatively similar. In 1990, people traveled 42 billion kilometers by bus, and this figure rose slightly to 50 billion by 2000. Likewise, the distance traveled by rail increased from 40 billion kilometers in 1990 to 50 billion in 2000.
In contrast, bicycles, motorbikes, and airplanes were not widely used in the UK. Both bicycles and motorbikes started at 5 billion passenger kilometers in 1990 but fell to 4 billion in 2000. However, despite starting at a relatively low figure of 5 billion in 1990, the distance traveled by air increased slightly to 8 billion kilometers by 2000.
