The given bar chart compares the number of kilometers, measured in billions, travelled by passengers on five different means of transport in the UK over a decade, starting from 1990.
Overall, in the United Kingdom, the total distance travelled in 1990 was longer than that in 2000. In addition, individuals had a tendency to ride motorbikes more in the year 1990, whereas air, bus and rail were prevalent in the next 10 years.
Regarding cycle and motorcycle, at the beginning of the period, bikers using motorbikes travelled about 14 billion kilometers, which was approximately a billion kilometers longer than that in 2000. A similar pattern was witnessed in total bicycle users’ distance, with 13 billion kilometers in 1990 and 12 billion kilometers at the start of the 21st century.
As for bus, rail and air transport, passengers on bus travelled a billion kilometers longer in 2000, approximately 48% billion kilometers, than that in the previous decade; while trail travellers experienced an equivalent distance compared to the bus journey in the year 2000 but the number of total rail distance in 1990 was lowered by 2 billion kilometers. Notably, air transport was the most unpopular in these modes of transportation in both years, around 14 billion kilometers and underwent a similar trend as bus user kilometers travelled.
