The graph shows a clear difference in the pattern of public transport use in 2016 between people living in large cities and other citizens, in the country in question.
Overall, the proportion of the age from 0 to 60 of large city residents surpasses that of other residents. While the majority of public transport users in big cities are about 31 to 45 years old, people using public transport mainly reach the age of 16 to 30 in other areas.
The gap between the two is particularly noticeable for younger and middle-age groups, with the highest difference for 31-45 year olds: 66% of city dwellers used public transport compared with just 15% of people living outside large urban centres. For children the difference was smaller but still significant, at 39% and 15% respectively. However, for the older ages the trend changed: there was actually a lower percentage of 61-75 year olds in large urban areas using public transport (9%) than others (18%), though for those in the oldest age bracket the figures reversed (15% and 6%). It is noteworthy that there is a more marked fluctuation across age groups for city dwellers: starting at 39% for the youngest, the figure rises to 66% before dropping sharply to a low of 9%. By contrast, figures for those living outside big cities hold fairly steady, with a high of 26% for 16-30 year olds and a low of 6% for the oldest group.
