The former line graph shows the number of train passengers between 2000 and 2009, and the latter line graph illustrates the percentage of trains running on time.
Overall, while the number of passengers showed a minor increase throughout the period, the percentage of trains running on time fluctuated considerably. It is also evident that by the end of the period, both figures rose.
Focusing first on the number of passengers, the passenger figure started at 38 billion in 2000, and this was followed by a significant increase to 48 billion. However, the figure was not sustained, as it dropped to 40 billion in 2008. In 2009, it rose to 46 billion.
When it comes to the percentage of trains running on time, starting at 92% in 2000, the figure grew to 95% in 2002, after which it improved further to 96% in 2004. In 2006, it decreased dramatically to 92%. However, this trend recovered as the figure increased to 97% in 2009.
