The line graph compares the proportion of people in different age groups using public transport in 2016, divided between large city residents and other residents.
Overall, public transport usage was significantly higher among large city residents than among other residents across most age groups, with the widest disparity in middle-aged groups. For both categories, usage tended to peak in early or middle adulthood and was lowest among people in their early senior years.
For large city residents, around 40% of the 0-15 age group used public transport. This figure rose steadily to about 55% for those aged 16-30 and peaked at nearly 70% among the 31-45 group. After that, the percentage fell sharply, reaching just over 40% for the 46-60 group and hitting a low of roughly 10% among those aged 61-75, before climbing slightly in the 76+ group.
Among other residents, the pattern was flatter and the proportions much lower. Usage began at roughly 15% for the youngest group, peaked at about 25% for ages 16-30, then declined gradually to around 10% for the oldest groups, with only minor fluctuations.
In summary, large city residents were consistently more reliant on public transport, particularly in the 31-45 age group, whereas other residents showed a more stable but much lower level of usage across all ages.
