The given two charts depict data on five kinds of transportation by which commuters travelled to university between 2004 and 2009.
In general, it is evident that while all the figures for the rest of the modes of transportation tended to increase in 2009, only the proportion of cars utilized for a third-level education was lower than in 2004.
In 2004, the proportion of people travelling by car was the highest in the total number of vehicles operated in a university, at 51%, and this rate saw a significant fall to 28% in 2009. By contrast, buses, in the first year, accounted for a third of the chart, which then climbed dramatically by 13% over the last five years.
In terms of bicycles, there was only a 9% in the rate of students travelling to higher education in 2004 and growing by 7% to 16% after 5 years. Similarly, although the figures for trains and walking accounted for the lowest percentage in 2004, at 3% and 4%, respectively, there were very slight increases to 4% and 6% 5 years later.
