The line graphs compare the distribtution of individuals in five metopolises of Australia by taking public and personal transportation between 2000 and 2010.
It is noticeable that people using general transportation witnessed the predominance and the minority in Sydney and Melbourne, respectively, while the opposite order was completely true for private transportation, with the majority being in Melbourne and the least being in Sydney. Additionally, private transportation increased considerably in usage, whereas its counterpart showed significant shifts.
Regarding public transit, Sydney, standing in the first rank with one-fifth initially, grew substaintially by almost 2%, before decreasing gradually to just under its starting point. This was followed by Perth, which demonstrated a rise from 15% to 18%, then dropping by 3%. Furthermore, both Adelaide and Canberra exhibited an upturn trend, commencing at 12% and 10%, falling to 10% and 9%, and ultimately recovering to their initial figures, respectively. Conversely, whilst there was a moderate lift of approximately 2% in Melbourne in the first 6 years, 4 years later saw a fall of almost 1%, reaching 6% finally.
Conversely, it is evident that Sydney was ranked in the bottom of the list regarding personal transit, which showed a surge of roughly 12% from 11%. Meanwhile, Melbourne dominated throughout, growing gradually from 80% to 90%. Similarly, Perth rised slightly by 5%, equivalent to 40% in 2010, ranking in the fourth position. Ultimately, there was an increase of 20% in Canberra in the observed period, which was two times more than that of Adelaide, reaching 80% and 55%, respectively.
