The table shows the average distance travelled by each person using different modes of transport in a year in Uzbekistan in 1985 and 2000.
Overall, it is evident that people travelled considerably more in 2000 compared to 1985. Additionally, cars were by far the most popular transport mode in both years, while the most significant rise was observed in distance travelled by taxi.
In 1985, cars were the primary transport type, with 3,199 miles, followed by local buses, at 429 miles. The distances travelled by the train and on foot were considerably lower than them, with 289 and 255 miles travelled per year. The figures for long-distance buses and bicycles were almost the same, at about 50 miles, while the share of taxis was the lowest at 13 miles.
By 2000, the graph had changed significantly. Cars remained the most used transport type, with an increase of 1,607 miles, while the figure for local buses experienced a remarkable drop to 274 miles. The distance travelled by train rose to 366 miles, making it the second most preferred transport mode in that year, whereas walking decreased slightly to 237 miles. While the distance travelled by long-distance buses went up to 124 miles, the reverse was true for bicycles, accounting for 41 miles. Finally, although taxis had the lowest distance initially, their growth was the most noticeable, with a three-fold increase to 42 miles.
