The bar chart provides information about different kinds of transports that were commonly used in 2014 by three major cities: New York, Sydney and Hong Kong.
Overall, it can be seen from the chart that there is no major form of transport for all cities, but rather popular transport modes vary depending on each group and interests in each city.
In 2014, the percentage of people in Sydney who travelled by either driving cars or using taxis was 68% and this was the most common type of transport in Sydney. Although walking was the second most chosen mode of transportation after personal vehicles, there had been a large difference between these two figures. Only nearly one-fifth of the citizens in this city chose to walk as a main means of transportation. Moving to Hong Kong, the bus was the most popular mode of transport and it was chosen by slightly over half of the population. Rail services were another popular type of transport in this city which nearly one-third of the residents preferred to commute. It was noticeable that both bus and rail services in Hong Kong dominated among the 3 cities which had much higher use compared to Sydney and New York.
The figures for people who prioritized walking was nearly two-fifths of the overall population in New York and this type became the most widely used in this city in 2014. Ranked second among four types of transports in New York, one-third of people chose to use their private vehicles or taxi services. In comparison with all the above means, other types were the lowest in three countries, with below 6% of individuals in each country choosing to travel.
