The bar charts compare the proportional distribution of main methods for transportation for people travelling to a particular university for work or study between 2004 and 2009.
Overall, it is evident that travelling in car and bus remained the dominant components in both charts, although their share increased and decreased over time. Meanwhile, travelling in bicycle experienced a noticeable change, whereas the remaining segments underwent relatively minor fluctuations.
In 2004, car accounted for 51%, making it by far for the most significant segment. This was followed by bus, which comprised 33%, while bicycle and walking represented a modest share at 9% and 4% respectively Collectively, these four categories contributed 97% of the total. By contrast, train accounted for only 3%, indicating that it made a negligible contribution to the overall distribution.
Turning to 2009, bus accounted for 46%, despite a slight increase compared to the earlier figure, while car gradually declined to 28%. Notably, bicycle experienced the most pronounced shift, rising from 9% to 16%. Meanwhile, walking underwent marginal change to 6%, while train rose slightly to 3%, suggesting that the pattern remained broadly similar despite some redistribution among the categories.
