The bar chart visualizes the usage of different modes of transport such as the bus, car, bike and by foot, given in percent. These were used by people in a European city to get to and from work in the years 1960, 1980 and 2000.
Remarkable is the raising popularity of cars. In 1960 about 5% and in 2000 35% of travellers used the car, making it from the least to most popular mode of transport. Simultaneously the bike use and walking gradually decreased. Travelling by foot rose to its high point in 1960, with roughly 34%, yet the number dropped to under 10% in 2000. A similar pattern goes for biking, whith its peak in popularity in 1960 with 25%, being the least preferred mode of transport in 2000, with 6%.
The number of travellers choosing to take the bus fluctuated over the years. It peaked in 1980 at 25%, in 1960 and 2000 about the same amount of travellers took the bus, being around 16% to 18%.
Overall this graph shows the growth of motor vehicles over time, with the car becoming the most preferred and the bus the second most preferred mode of transport even though only half as many people chose the latter.
