The bar graph shows the number of trips made by children in a nation in 1990 and 2010 to commute to and from school using various modes of transportation.
Overall, there is a significant difference between the methods of travel used by students aged 5-12 in both years. In 1990, most of the children walked to school, while in 2010, cars were the most used way to commute to and from school.
In 1990, the majority of the children walked to school, resulting in just over 12 million trips. All the other modes of transport were used almost equally by the students, at around 6 million total trips in the year, except for cars, which was the least used mode of travel, at slightly over 4 million trips.
Whereas in 2010, cars were the preferred mode, at around 11 million trips. Walking was the second most used method at exactly 6 million trips in the year. Other modes of transport like bus, walking and bus, and cycle had significantly fewer trips compared to the year 1990, at 5, 3, and 2 million, respectively.
