The bar chart compares five different transport means taken by the number of 5-12 year-old children (in millions) to commute between home and school from 1990 to 2010.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that the choice of walking obtained the most significant decrease over two decades, while being a car passenger became more preferable compared to the other four methods.
In 1990, the decision of walking made by children (around 12 millions) acquired the higgest figures; in contrast, only about 4 million kids chose to be taken a car. Additionally, other three travel ways, such as cycling, the combination of walking and bus, bus, showcased the similar popularity with the number of nearly 6 to 7 millions.
20 years later in 2010, the most dramatic decline in taking a walk can be viewed with more than half children shifting towards other transports although the proportion of car passenger as the first priority climbed up to approximately 11 millions. On the other hand, other three choices considered by children experienced a relatively moderate decrease, but merely 2 million kids took a bike by a 4-million reduction.
