The bar chart delineats flactuations in the number of city centre’s journeys made by resident and non-resident car drivers per day over an extended period of time: since 1996 until 2005.
Overall, the horizontal axe depicts the time line from 1996 to 2005; whereas the vertical line presents the number of car journeys per day.
Notably, in the period since 1996 until 1999 the number of resident users dominated the number of journeys made by foreign drivers, peaking in 1998 with just below 10000 drivers per day, compared to only 6500 users in the opposite cohort in the same year. Notwithstanding, since 2000 the dominance on the roads had shifted because in 2000 the number of non-resident drivers outgrew the number of resident drivers for 3000 people, reaching 8000 and 5000 user, respectfully, per day. The tendancy remained the same over the next three years with no considerable changings, until in 2003 when the number of drivers in both cohorts had dramatically fallen to 4000 for residents and 3000 for non-residents. However, 2005 saw a slight increase in favor of foreign car drivers campared to local ones with 5000 and 4000, respectfully.
