The line graph illustrates how the number of British workers who travelled daily using three different transport changed between 1970 and 2030, measured in millions. Overall, a majority of commuters opted for using car throughout the period, while train experienced the lowest passengers in 1970 but then rose markedly. It is also clear that there was a slight decline in the number of workers travelling by bus at the end of the period.
In 1970, approximately five million UK commuters travelled by car every day, while the figures for bus and train stood at about four million and two million people, respectively. In the year 2000, the number of daily travelers who drove cars increased dramatically to around seven million, while the figure for train rose noticeably by one million. As for bus passengers, there was a slight decrease of approximately less than 0.5 million.
By 2030, the number of individuals who commute by car is expected to reach nearly nine million, and the figure for train passengers is predicted to grow to about five million. In contrast, the number of British people who prefer to travel by bus is expected to reach a minority of passengers, with a mere three million.
