The pie charts illustrate the percentage of various reasons why individuals commute to their workplaces by bicycle or by car.
Overall, it is apparent that health and fitness, along with environmental awareness are the most common reasons for cycling to work,while the largest proportion of people choose to drive out of comfort.
Regarding the first graph, people opt for cycling mainly because of health and fitness as well as environmental protection, with each sector representing 30%, making them the largest share. The second most prominent is the “no parking problems” section, which constitutes 15%, being half as many as the two leading reasons’ rate. Also, there is a minor marginal of 1% between the rate of people choosing this means of transport because of its free costs and those doing so because of its speed, with 13% and 12%, respectively.
Looking at the other chart, 40% of people drive to work out of comfort, making this the leading reason. Meanwhile, there are just 21% of drivers doing so as a result of the distance to their workplace, being almost 20% lower than the aforementioned reason. The figure for citizens who go to work by car due to its speed and their own need to carry things to work reported an identical figure, which is 14%. Additionally, the least prevalent reason for driving to work is it being safer than cycling, making up just nearly one-tenth of the total examined figure.
