The pie charts compare the proportion of main transportation methods used by students to go to a particular university in 2004 and 2009.
Overall, despite its initial dominance, the share of commuters travelling by car declined significantly and was taken over by bus in the final year. Notably, all means of transportation experienced a rise in their proportion with the exception of the car, which saw a decline.
In 2004, more than a half of the students went to the university by car, the highest figure recorded in the chart, while the figure for bus was noticeably lower, at 33%. In the following 5-year period, there was a reverse trend in these figures, with the former plummeting to 28%, the latter reaching 46%, taking the lead as the most used method of transport.
Regarding the other methods, the proportion of people cycling to the university stood at 9%, meanwhile, 3% and 4% people opted for train and walking, respectively. By 2009, all of these figures had risen: while the bicycle users increased to 16%, combination of train passengers and walkers made up a tenth, with the latter accounting for 1% more.
