The bar chart illustrates the annual number of journeys made using buses and the subway in the city of Williamsville between 2011 and 2015.
Overall, subway ridership was consistently higher than bus usage throughout the period, and it showed a steady upward trend. In contrast, bus ridership fluctuated moderately, rising and falling rather than increasing continuously.
In 2011, approximately 620 million subway rides were recorded, compared with around 430 million bus journeys. Both figures rose slightly in 2012, with subway use increasing to about 650 million, while bus ridership climbed to roughly 450 million. In 2013, subway travel continued its upward trajectory, reaching nearly 680 million rides; however, bus usage declined to just over 400 million, marking the lowest point in the period.
A notable change occurred in 2014, when bus ridership rebounded sharply to approximately 500 million, its peak over the five years. Meanwhile, subway usage rose further to around 710 million. By 2015, subway ridership reached its highest level at roughly 750 million journeys, whereas bus use fell back to about 450 million.
In summary, while both modes of transport were heavily used, the subway experienced consistent growth and remained the dominant form of public transport in Williamsville.
