The given chart illustrates the main transportations used by students from the age 11 to 16 and the distance they travel to school in the UK in an unspecified year.
Overall, from 0 to 1 miles, walking is the most popular selection among the students, whereas the bus is chosen by most pupils for long distances (more than 5 miles). It is clear that the longer the distance, the need for using special vehicles to come to school by students becomes more apparent. In addition, from 1 to 2 miles or over 5 miles, students prefer to travel by bicycle or by bus to school.
Commencing with the short distance (from 0 to 1 miles), walking accounted for the highest portion, at 90%, while bicycles make up half. Additionally, cars and buses constitute a minimal percentage, with nearly 10% and 2% respectively. With distances from 1 to 2 miles, bicycles constitute the highest, at approximately 80%, whereas walking, car, and bus account for 60%, 20%, and 10% each.
Shifting focus to distances over 2 miles, people tend to use vehicles rather than walking. From 2 to 5 miles, walking and cars comprise around 25% and 30%, significantly lower than bicycles and buses, both at half. For distances exceeding 5 miles, no students walk or use bicycles, cars make up around 20%, with nearly one-fourth of students travelling by bus.
