The charts show how much time employees in the UK spend travelling to work and how they travel in 2009. Overall, the majority of employees spend relatively less time traveling to work. While cars were the most popular method of transportation with both workers in London and other parts of the UK, almost nobody used the underground when it came to other parts of the UK.
Regarding the pie chart, the proportion of people going to work decreased with time. Almost half of them took 1-15 minutes at 42% followed by people who took quarter to half an hour with one third of them spending traveling to work. Only 12% and 8% of the UK population spend 30 to 45 minutes and one hour to arrive at their workplace. Finally, employees who spent an hour or more traveling accounted for merely 5%.
Regarding the bar chart, the environmentally-friendly methods of transportations had the lowest figures, unlike the private ones – cars – which had the biggest figure among all means of transportations. Among employees working in London 35 % of them used cars for traveling, less than half the figure for the rest of the UK at slightly over 70% – despite no one using the underground unlike in London where almost one fifth of people use it. The figures for the train have the same pattern as the underground in which one fifth of London workers use it while approximately mere 2% of the rest of UK workers use the train.
