The picture depicts how many kilometers an average person traveled per week by five different modes of transport in the UK from 1990 to 2000.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is apparent that there was an increase in the total amount of distance, which was the result of a growth in the figures for buses, trains, and planes. In addition, buses were consistently the most commonly used means of transport throughout the period examined.
The total kilometers that people traveled by all five types of transportation started at exactly 100 in 1990, after which it saw a moderate increase to 110 in 2000. Similar changes, but to a lesser extent, can be seen in the figures for bus and train usage, which slightly grew from precisely 40 and just under 38 to 41 and 39 respectively.
Bicycles, motorbikes, and airplanes were less popular vehicles among the UK population. The number of kilometers traveled by airplanes was the lowest, at about 1 in 1990, with a subsequent marginal increase to reach just under 5 in the final year. Conversely, the figures for bicycles and motorbikes experienced downward trends, with both being under 4.
