The given bar chart compares the number of kilometers, measured in billions, journeyed 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 increased slightly over the period shown. Additionally, bus, rail and air transport became more prevalent 10 years later, except for bicycle and motorbike.
Looking firstly at cycle and motorcycle, these personal vehicles saw a marginal drop in the number of kilometers journeyed. It is clear that in 1990, the distance bikers using motorbikes travelled was roughly 14 billion kilometers, decreasing to 2000, at which point it hit a low of 13 billion travel. A similar pattern was witnessed in bicycle users’ distance, with 13 billion kilometers at the start of the period and 12 billion kilometers in the next 10 years.
Conversely, the remaining public transports witnessed a slight growth in the figure of the overall travel. Specifically, in the year of 1990, approximately 46 billion kilometers were journeyed by passengers staying in the UK, then it rose by 1 billion kilometers a decade later. The number of bus distance travelled at the end of the period was identical to that of bus, but the beginning proportion was lower by a billion kilometers. Somewhat similarly, air transport was driven roughly 12 billion kilometers at the start and grew to 13,5 billion kilometers in 2000.
