The first graph displays how many passengers used train between 2000 and 2009, and the second graph compares the rate of trains running on time with the standard line.
Overall , it is clear that the number of people, who utilized trains slightly increased throughout the period. In addition, proportion of the punctual trains was lower than the target; however, at the end of the period it was far higher than the target.
Looking more closely at the first image, just above 35 million people reached their destinations by trains in 2000, despite some fluctuations, this figure rose in the following 5 years, and peaked at nearly 46 million. Then, there was a slight decline in the number of train passengers,with approximately 42 million people who took train in 2009.
Turning to the second graph, the standard line remained stable, at 95%, over the time frame. The rates of trains running on time were the same in 2000 and 2006, although some fluctuations between this time frame. From 2006 to 2008, there was an increase in the rates of punctual trains, from 92% to 97%. Then, the figure remained unchanged until the end of the period.
